Details
Executive Summary : | Identifying effective herbicides and herbicide combination for weed control in wheat, improving crop safety to herbicides through various agronomic practices/adjustments, suppressing weeds in wheat through combination of row spacing, seed rate and competitive cultivars, studies on herbicide resistance profile of P. minor, Rumex dentatus and Polypogon monspeliensis populations and their management solutions, quick herbicide resistance detection in weeds and long term effect of Conservation Agriculture practices on weeds |
Achievements : | Bioassay studies were conducted to identify and quantify the herbicide resistance in different weeds; Zero tillage favours the buildup of Rumex dentatus and Polypogon monspliensis populations |
