Evaluating the impact of bio-fertilizers and weed management on weed dynamics and productivity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2023-24 on loamy sand of in the rural area of Kanpur district of Mandhana, located 10 km from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh to Evaluating the impact of bio-fertilizers and weed management on weed dynamics and productivity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.).The soil was normal in pH of 7.67, electrical conductivity (EC) of 0.25 dSm-1, organic carbon content of 0.40%, and available nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at levels of 215.98, 19.58, and 149.558 kg ha-1, respectively. The experiment was laid out during Rabi season of 2023-24.The experiment consisted of 20 treatment combinations, was laid out in Split plot Design (SPD) with three replications.
