STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LAND LEVELLING TECHNIQUES ON WEED POPULATION IN GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 32
Abstract
The field studies were conducted in the research farm of the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) Raichur during the kharif seasons of 2013 and 2014 to determine the effects of traditional and laser land leveling techniques on weed population in groundnut production. Pooled mean of number of weeds per m2 indicated that number of weeds per m2 was significantly lesser compared to traditionally levelled plot and the plot with no leveling. The control plot recorded the highest number of weeds per m2. Laser land levelling facilitated in uniform moisture distribution in the entire field, crop stand and growth resulting in lesser weed infestations.
