Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Instructional farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur (Rajasthan) during rabi season 2021-22 and 2022-23 to study the influence of weed management practices and biochar on weed dynamics of fenugreek. The experiment consists of eight weed management treatments and three biochar levels thereby involving 24 treatment combinations replicated thrice in factorial randomized block design. The pooled results revealed that pre-emergence application of oxyfluorfen 120 g ha-1 recorded significantly lowest density and dry matter of narrow-leaved, broad-leaved and total weeds and highest weed control efficiency (78.28%).
