Efficacy of Newly Approved Weedicides to Control Weeds in Spring Wheat

To create awareness among the farmers to choose the proper weedicide among the current weedicides available in the market for controlling weeds in wheat. The present research work was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of newly approved weedicides to control weeds in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, during season of 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement having 3 replications. It is concluded from the present research that for obtaining maximum wheat production, the weeds should be removed by hoeing (hand weeding) if labor is not a major problem, however among the available weedicides in the market which were used in the current research the Pallas (pyroxsulam) weedicide proved to be the excellent for obtaining higher weed control efficiency and grain yield.
