abstract
A field experiment was carried out during Kharif-Rabi season of 2022-23 and 23-24 on experimental farm of CoA, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, (U.P.) to study of crop establishment methods, tillage and weed management in rice- chickpea system. The experiment was layout in Split -Split Plot Design (SSPD) with three replications taken two crop establishment DSR (Direct seeded rice) and TPR (Transplanted rice) in main plot, two tillage practices ZT (Zero tillage) and CT (Conventional tillage) in subplot and four weed management practices IWM (Pretilachlor + Safener + 1 HW) in rice /Pendimethalin +1 HW in Chickpea, Pretilachlor + Safener in rice/ Pendimethalin in Chickpea, Bispyribac Sodium in rice / Topramezone in Chickpea and Weedy check in rice and chickpea in sub-sub plot.Results revealed that significantly higher crop growth rate, relative growth rate, absolute growth rate and grain yield was recorded in DSR (Direct seeded rice), ZT (Zero tillage) and IWM (Pretilachlor + Safener + 1HW),which was comparable to weed free during both the years of investigation under rice-chickpea cropping system.
