Abstract Parthenium poses serious threat to modern crop production system and
necessitate evaluating control practices for its effective management. Efficacy of
different weed control practices for controlling parthenium was explored in conventional and deep tillage systems in the field conditions. Hand hoeing (20 and
35 days after emergence), S-Metolachlor (pre-emergence herbicide), sorghum
straw mulch @ 5 tons ha-1 and combination of hand hoeing and sorghum straw

as weed control practice. Weedy check where no weed control measure was
applied was also included… More >
