A field experiment was conducted at the Livestock Farm, JNKVV, Jabalpur during Rabi season 2017 and 2018 to check the bio-efficacy of pendimethalin ( CS) as PPI against complex weed flora in chickpea. Species wise weed data were recorded in weedy check plots revealed that Medicago denticullate () and Cichorium intybus () were most dominant. However, other monocot weeds like Cyperus rotundus (), Cynodon dactylon () were also present in less numbers in chickpea. Weedy check had the highest weed density and weed biomass, which reduced significantly when weeds were, controlled either chemically or mechanically. | Bio-efficacy of pendimethalin CS as pre plant incorporation against complex weed flora in chickpea
