Effect of Herbicide (Quizalofop-p-Ethyl) on Growth, Photosynthetic Pigments, Enzymes and Yield Responses of Blackgram (<i>Vigna mungo</i> L.)

Abstract

The recent experiment was conducted to assess the effect of herbicide (quizalafop-p-ethyl) on growth, photosynthetic pigments, enzymes and yield of Black gram (Vigna mungo L.) during the summer season 2013-2014. This experiment comprised black gram (variety ADT 3) and different concentrations of herbicide (quizalafop-p-ethyl) treatments compared with control. Reduction in growth, photosynthetic pigments, enzymes and yield parameters were observed with 0.5 % herbicide application followed by 1 %, 1.5 % and 2 %, out of all treatments 0.5 % shows least reduction. Thus, 0.5 % herbicide application is the safest way for weed control in Black gram field as it showed least adverse effect on growth, photosynthetic pigments, enzymes and yield of crop when compared with other treatments.

Effect of Bentazon and Different Lipid-Inhibitor Herbicides on Weed Control and Yield of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) in Upper Egypt

“…Quizalofop induced genotoxic effects on the root cells of different plants such as faba bean and sunflowers (Karaismailoğlu et al, 2013;Çelik et al, 2022). Mahakavi et al (2014) also indicated the negative effects of quizalafop on enzymes, photosynthetic pigments, growth, and yield of Vigna mungo L. crop.…”
