ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to analyse the constraints perceived by the dairy farmers in Murrah tract of Haryana state. In the area of breeding belief that conception rate of artificial insemination in buffaloes is poor (79%), lack of knowledge about right time of insemination (78.67%) and belief that PD is harmful for pregnant animals (75%) were the most serious constraints perceived by dairy farmers. High cost of feed (82%) was the most serious feeding constraint followed by lack of availability of green fodder round the year (78.67%) and lack of knowledge about preparation of low cost balanced concentrate mixture at home (76%). In the area of management lack of knowledge and resources for cheap and scientific housing (72%) and cost of buffalo is very high (69%) were found the most serious constraints. High cost of treatment (79.67%) was considered as the most serious health constraint followed by lack of knowledge about common diseases and their preventive measures (72%).

hoots plant-1 (8.03), number of leaves plant-1 (21.0), leaf area (724 cm2), leaf area index (0.60), total dry matter plant-1 (7.30 g) over weedy check (48.67 cm, 4.33, 10.33, 400 cm2, 0.33 and 4.84 g, respectively). Application of Fenoxaprop–p-ethyl 54 gm a.i. ha-1 as early post emergent at 20 DAP recorded significantly higher number of tubers plant-1 (4.30), tuber weight plant-1 (250.50 g) and tuber yield (19.77 t ha-1) which was on par with Quizalofop–p-ethyl (4.07, 247.37 g and 18.93 t ha-1, respectively) except weed free check.
