Effect of Integrated Weed Management on Yield, Quality and Economics of Summer Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)

Influence of Weed Management Practices on Uptake of Nutrients by Kharif Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and its Effect on Soil Fertility Status

“…Significantly lower content of available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was noticed with weedy check (129, 26.9 and 152.0 kg ha -1 , respectively) compared to other treatments. These results are in corroboration with findings of Verma et al, (2017).…”

Forage Yield and Nutritional Characteristics of Cultivated Fodders as Affected by Agronomic Interventions: A Review

“…Sorghum is hardy crop which provides food, feed and fodder security in dry land economy (Paterson et al, 2009). It is a unique crop among the major cereals and the staple food and fodder crop for unprivileged populations of world residing primarily in the semi-arid tropics (Verma et al, 2017). Pearl millet is an excellent forage crop because of its lower hydrocyanic acid content than sorghum and its green fodder is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals with oxalic acid within safe limits (Khairwal and Yadav, 2005).…”

Comparison of Different Weedicides on Multi-cut Sorghum Sudan Grass Hybrid for Productivity Enhancement and Control of Grassy Weeds

“…The competition among weeds and crops is measured by weed species, duration of infestation, weed density, their growth pattern and weather conditions. This affects the development and growth of crops, which ultimately results in yield reduction (Freitas et al, 2014;Verma et al, 2017). The yield loss of sorghum due to weeds has been recorded in the range of 15 to 97% depending on the nature and intensity of the weeds (Thakur et al, 2016).…”
