Ihsanullah , Fazal Hayt Taj and Ijaz Ahmad Khan

Abstract: The research work was conducted to find out the performance of maize under different weed management. The treatments were weeding with khurpa, hand hoe, wheat mulch, oat mulch, Primixtra 500FW @ 1.5 litres per acre, Stomp 330EC @ 1 litre per acre and weedy check. Maximum emergence m-2 (17.50) was for oat mulch, which was at par with wheat mulch (16.75). Minimum weeds density m-2 (3.75), maximum cob length (17.77 cm), number of grains cob-1 (380) 1000-grains weight (294 g) and grain yield (3943) were recorded for Primixtra 500FW. The weed species infesting the field were Cyprus rotendus, Sorghum helepense, Cynodon dactlon, Leptochloa sp., Echinochloa crussgalli, Tribulus terrestris, Convolvulus arvensis and Portulaca oleracea etc.
