Effect of Integrated Weed Management on Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) cv. Arka Anamika in North Plain Zone

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated Weed Management on Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) cv. Arka Anamika in north plain zone.” was conducted during Kharif season of 2022-23 at student instructional farm of the S.C. Bose P.G. College, Kahli, Terwa, Gaushganj, Hardoi (U.P.). The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 6 treatments combinations and 3 replications. Different treatments were applied at the different interval of time and effect were recorded. Gap identified over the topic is -Weed control in okra through conventional methods has become expensive, time consuming and difficult during heavy and continuous rains particularly during early stages of the crop. While continuous, use of herbicides might sooner or later lead to resurgence of secondary weeds besides causing pollution problems. So an experiment was conducted to study the effect of chemical & cultural means alone or in combination, on the weed control efficiency and yield of okra. The selection of specific season is associated that most of okra is sown in kharif season in north plain zone as less seed rate is required [1].
