| Abstract: | An experiment
has been undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of traditional practices to use
common salt for weed management in jhum
paddy in mid hills conditions in Eastern Himalayas with the objective to study
the effect of salt application on morphological characters, yield attributes,
yield and economics of paddy under shifting cultivation areas.
Salt @ 120 kg ha-1 with two spay resulted significantly (P<0.05)
higher grain yield over control, and also higher weed control efficiency than
three hand weeding. The salt
and hand weeding have resulted same effect by reducing the chaffy grain. Salt
application is found to be the best weed management strategy with Benefit: Cost
ratio of 1.79. |
