An experiment in Kodo millet was conducted during Kharif 2018 in red sandy loamy soil of Zonal Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru with different weed management practices. Twelve treatments replicated thrice in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The weed density (4.59, 4.67 and 4.69
m-2) and weed dry weight (9.00, 7.00 and 3.71g m-2) were found significantly lower at 30, 45 days after sowing and at harvest, respectively in T5 i.e. the application of Bensulfuron methyl 0.6 % G + Pretilachlor 6.0 % G 165g a. i. ha-1 as pre emergent herbicide fb Bispyribac sodium 10 % SC 10g a. i. ha-1 among herbicide treatments was found supreme in controlling weeds growth and thereby enhancing the performance of crop and this treatment was found on found par with the treatment i.e. Bensulfuron methyl 0.6 % G + Pretilachlor 6.0 % G 165g a. i. ha-1 fb Ethoxysulfuron 15 % WG 12g a. i. ha-1 (4.38, 4.78 and 4.72 m-2 of weed density and 7.33, 7.50 and 8.27g m-2 of weed dry weight), two intercultivation followed by hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS (3.40, 3.17 and 3.78m-2, and 4.00, 2.63 and 2.32gm-2 at 30, 45 DAS and at harvest, respectively) indicating the excelled efficiency of Bensulfuron methyl + pretilachlor fb Bispyribacsodium in controlling sedges, grasses and broad leaf weeds throughout the growth stages of kodo millet without any phytotoxicity on kodo millet crop.
