Acknowledging that effective weed management is
essential for ensuring healthy crop growth and maximizing yields, a field
experiment was undertaken during the Rabi season of 2022 at the Research Farm
of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCSHAU, Hisar, Haryana. The study aimed
to evaluate the performance of the potato variety ‘Kufri Bahar’ under thirteen
different weed control treatment combinations. The analysis of collected data
demonstrated that the choice of weed management strategy had a significant
influence on multiple yield and weed-related parameters, underscoring the
importance of integrated weed control practices in optimizing potato
production. The results obtained were recorded and observed that at 25 DAP
highest weed density and maximum dry matter accumulation of weeds were recorded
in the treatments T13, T11 and T8. The weed
control efficiency among different weed control treatments was found maximum in
T6 followed by T3. Weed index was found minimum in T12
which was followed by T11, T6 and T3.
The highest net returns was recorded under treatment T12, followed
by T11, T6 and T3.
