Abstract


Field trials were conducted on a bermudagrass infested field to evoluato certain herbicides and manual methods for controlling this graso selectively in groundnut. It was found that post emorgance application of fluazifop-butyl at 125 and 250 g ha-1 reduced the seed yield by 8.76 and 12.73 q har over weady check and increased the groundnut pod yield by 8.47 and 11.73 q ha?, respectively. Those herbicide treatments were found more effective than even manual weeding, both in terms of suppression of bermudagrass and boosting of yield.
