Effect of Various Planting Patterns on Weed Population and Yield of Wheat
Qazi Mehmood Ali and Shamsudin Tunio

Abstract: Seven weed management treatments viz., Isolated planting patterns, combined treatments (planting pattern+Buctril-M) and weedy check for full season were tested for their effect on weed population of wheat All the treatments had highly significant effects on plant height, tillers, 1000 grains wt and grain yield, except number of grains/ear that was significantly affected by weed management practices. Combined treatment with cross row sowing+ Buctril- M @ 1.0 lit ha-1 produced highest grain yield (3820.95kg ha-1). While that with skip row sowing produced lowest (2486.65 kg ha-1). Weeds were controlled highest in skip row+Buctril-M @ 1.0 lit ha-1 (67%) and lowest in close row sowing+Buctril-M @ 1.0 lit ha-1(48.61%). Weed population in planting pattern alone were increased but their weed biomass was decreased as compared to weedy check. The highest weed biomass was decreased in cross row sowing. Combined treatment was the best for the control of various weeds of wheat crop and to harvest maximum crop yield.
