 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2012 on a clay loam soil at Experimental Farm at Annamalai University to identify an appropriate nitrogen level and weed management practice in transplanted rice for higher productivity, profitability and maintaining soil health. The combined application of 150 kg N ha-1 and application of pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg a.i. kg ha-1 at 2 DAS along with 2,4-D NA salt @ 0.80 kg a.i. ha-1 at 25 DAS had a significant influence on plant height, number of tillers m-2 and dry weight of weeds.
