Title: SUPPRESSION OF SOME BROAD LEAF WEEDS THROUGH HERBICIDES AND PATHENIUM EXTRACT
Abstract: To study the potential of pre-emergence herbicides (pendimethalin, s-metolachlor) and Parthenium extract against three winter weed species including (Rumex crispus, Vicia ludoviciana and Anagallis arvensis), a pot based study was undertaken during October-November 2011 in the department of Weed Science, the University of Agriculture Peshawar, Pakistan. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) having four replications. The results showed that all the studied parameters were significantly affected by all the treatments. Moreover, the lowest seed germination % and fresh and dry weed biomass were recorded for pendimethalin. In addition, the pre application of Parthenium extract also performed well against the studied weed species.
