A field experiment using a randomized block design, eight weed management treatments, and three replications was carried out in the kharif of 2022 at the Division of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, India. To determine the economics and effectiveness of weed control measures for managing weeds in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.). The weed control techniques had a big impact on the weed restrictions.With pre-emergence application (PE) of pendimethalin 0.70 kg/ha combined with hand weeding, the weed density and biomass and greater weed control efficiency were consistently inferior at different stages of crop growth. This confirmed that pre-emergence herbicide application could effectively regulate the weeds emerging early in the season, and the actual controlling of weeds by it led to higher yield and B: C ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
