The research was conducted with glyphosate resistant cotton hybrids during winter irrigated season of 2009-10 and 2010-11 at the experimental site of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, with the objective, to find out the weed control efficacy and yield of transgenic cotton hybrid with the application of glyphosate. Glyphosate was applied as post-emergence application on 25 and 65 DAS at 900, 1350, 1800, 2700, 3600 and 5400 g a.e./ha in MRC 7347 BG-II RRF test hybrid. These treatments were compared with hand weeding on 15 and 30 DAS and unweeded control. In both sprays, post-emergence application of glyphosate 2700, 3600 and 5400 g a.e./ha registered lower weed density and higher weed control efficiency in transgenic cotton hybrid compared with other treatments. Seed cotton yield (3195 and 3092 kg·ha-1 during 2009-10 and 2010-11 respectively) was significantly higher in post-emergence application of glyphosate at 2700 g a.e./ha. Increased use of transgenic cotton with herbicide and pest resistance has resulted in more efficient insect and weed management practices.展开更多

The results showed that 20% thifensulfuron methyl WP and 65% MCPA·ametryne·diuron WP had good control effect on nut grass. The optimum dosage of 20% thifensulfuron methyl WP and 65% MCPA.ametryne-diuron WP was 1 125 g/hm^2 (effective ingredients 225 g) and 3 150 g/hm^2 (effective ingredients 2 047.5 g), respectively. These two herbicides should be dissolved in 675 kg water per hectare and applied in the vigorous growth period of nut grass (height 10-15 cm) with oriented stem leaf spraying. The control effect after 15 days could be above 87.9%.展开更多

文摘Weeds are one of the most important biological constraint to cotton production,and result-ing in a yield losses of up to 90%.The evolution of hundreds of resistant weed species,the lack of new herbicide chemistries,and the increase in weed management costs are all mak-ing weed management more arduous for the growers.Hence,a field experiment was con-ducted to investigate the efficacy of allelopathic crop water extracts(ACWEs)alone and in combinaton with one third rate of S-metolachlor 717g ai.ha-1for effective weed man-agement in cotton.The treatments investigated were;weedy check,sorghum+brassica water extract(WE)at 1.5Lha 1,sorghum+sunflower WE at 1.5Lha-,sorghum+bras-sica+sunflower WE at 1.5Lha-1,sorghum+brassica WE at 15L ha-1+S-metolachlor at 717 g a.i.ha-l,sorghum+sunflower WE at 1.5L ha-1+S-metolachlor at 717 g a.i.ha-1,sor-ghum+brassica WE+sunflower WE at 1.5Lha-1+S-metolachlor at 717 gaiha-,and S-metolachlor at recommended rate of 2.15 kg ai.ha-1.Results revealed that pre-emergent application of sorghum+brassica water extract(WE)at 1.5L ha-1 was the best treatment in terms of effective dry biomass reduction(40%)of Trianthema portulacastrum and Cyperus rotundus,and increase in seed cotton yield(12%).The second best treatment was sorghum+sunflower WE at 1.5Lha-1+S-metolachlor at 717g ai.ha-1 with yield increase of 11%over the weedy control.In comparison,S-metolachlor at recommended rate 2.15kg a.i.ha-1 recorded only 4%decrease in weeds dry biomass reduction and 8%increase in seed cotton yield.Hence,it can be predicted that binary combinaton of sorghum and brassica WE at 1.5 Lha-1 or binary combination of sorghum+sunflower WE at 15Lha-1 with one third dose of S-metolachlor (717g aiha-l)can be used for effective weed management and increase in seed cotton yield.Furthermore,adoption of this technique will also reduce the herbicide application,which is not only benefcial for the ecosystem but,also minimize the evolution of herbicide-resistant weed species.
