ABSTRACT
A field experiment conducted during summer, 2009 at Experimental Farm, Annamalai University to study the weed management options in transplanted finger millet. Pre-emergence (PE) application of oxyflourfen @ 0.1 kg/ha at 3 days after transplanting (DAT) followed by (fb) post-emergence (PoE) application of azimsulfuron @ 20 g/ha applied at 20 DAT resulted in lesser weed density, weed dry matter, maximum plant height, tillers/m2, dry matter production which in turn favourably influenced the grain yield and straw yield of transplanted finger millet compared to other weed control treatments. The unweeded check recorded the smaller plants and lesser dry matter and hence, resulted in yield reduction of about 47% in transplanted finger millet.
Key words: Finger millet, Herbicides, Sequential application, Weed density, Yield.
