ABSTRACT:
The study was performed during the kharif seasons to examine the effects of weed control techniques and planting methods on the quality, yield, and growth of paddy. Four crop planting methods as planted rice, direct seeded rice, drum seeded rice, and the system of rice intensification (SRI) and four weed control strategies as bispyribac sodium 25gha?¹ at 25 DAS/T, bispyribac sodium 25gha?¹ at 25 DAS/T combined with hand weeding at 40 DAS/T, two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS/T, and a weedy check were held using a split-plot design with three replications. Relative to alternative weed management techniques, hand weeding (20 and 40 DAS/T) demonstrated superior maximum plant height, shoot density/m2, dry matter accumulation, grain yield, and nitrogen uptake by the crop. The SRI method exhibited superior results in comparison to other planting methods.
