“…Significantly lower weed count in case of black polythene mulch may be ascribed to the beneficial effects of mulch leading to decrease in sunlight exposure necessary for seed germination thereby reducing weed number. Similar results sharing the beneficial effect of black polythene mulch on weed suppression in cole crops have been reported by Moniruzzaman et al (2007) [11] in cauliflower, Singh and Kumar (2017) [15] in broccoli and Kishore et al (2018) [9] in tomato. Weed dry matter is a function of weed count and it followed the same trend.…”

A field experiment was conducted at the Water Management Farm of CSK HPKV, Palampur during 2019-20 to study the effect of irrigation levels and weed management practices in cauliflower. It consisted of three irrigation levels (0.9 PE, 0.7 PE, 0.5 PE) in main plots and four weed management practices (black polythene mulch, pendimethalin @ 1.5 kg ha -1 followed by one hand weeding at 40-45 DAT, pendimethalin @ 1.5 kg ha -1 followed by straw mulching and weedy check) in sub plots laid out in split plot design replicated thrice. Drip water application at 0.7 PE irrigation level and the use of black polythene mulch as weed management practice being at par with 0.9 PE level and black polythene mulch gave significantly higher yield compared to irrigation at 0.5 PE. However, the weed count was significantly lower whereas water use efficiency was significantly higher at 0.7 PE irrigation level compared to irrigation at 0.9PE with black polythene mulch.
