ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology,
Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad, U. P. There were 12 treatments in the experiment i. e. isoproturon 1000 g/ha,
isoproturon+2, 4 -D 1000+500 g/ha, clodinafop+metsulfuron methyl 60+4 g/ha, VESTA 400 (clodinafop 15%+metsulfuron
methyl 1%) RM 400 g/ha, clodinafop+2, 4-D 60+500 g/ha, sulfosulfuron 25 g/ha, sulfosulfuron+metsulfuron methyl 25+4
g/ha, total (sulfosulfuron 75%+metsulfuron methyl 5%) RM 40 g/ha, metribuzin 175 g/ha, atlantis (mesosulfuron
3%+iodosulfuron 0.6%) RM 400 g/ha, weed free and weedy check were tested in randomized block design. The results
revealed that VESTA 400 g/ha recorded maximum plant height, dry matter accumulation at harvest (g/plant), leaf area
index, minimum density of weeds and recorded highest number of spikes, length of spikes, test weight, grain yield, straw yield and harvest index.
Key words :Bio-efficacy, post-emergence herbicides, weed management, wheat
