Sorghum allelopathy a new weed control technology for enhancing wheat productivity
TLDR
Sorghum allelopathy has recently been recognized as an effective, economical and environmentally safe natural weed control technology for wheat crop as mentioned in this paper, which has successfully been manipulated for reducting dry weight of important weeds.Abstract:
Sorghum allelopathy has recently been recognized as an effective, economical and environmentally safe natural weed control technology for wheat crop. Allelopathic potential of sorghum has successfully been manipulated for reducting dry weight of important weeds as, Bathu, Dumbi Sittiy, Jangli Javi, Jangli Pallak, Hazardani, Billibooti, and Jangli Halooon by 20-24%, and increasing wheat yield by 10-20%. Inclusion of Sorghum in Cotton-Wheat rotation also helps in reducing deela and Lehli population to a considerable extent.read more

Diversification of rice (Oryza sativa L.)-based cropping systems for higher productivity, resource-use efficiency and economic returns in south Gujarat, India
TL;DR: A field experiment was conducted in Navsari, India during 2003-2007 on a Vertisol to evaluate the productivity, sustainability, resource-use efficiency and economics of 10 rice-based cropping systems as mentioned in this paper.
Purple nutsedge (cyperus rotundus l.) management in cotton with combined application of sorgaab and s-metolachlor
TL;DR: The results of two years field trials revealed that 62-92% purple nutsedge control was achieved from sorgaab application in combination with reduced doses of herbicide, indicating that sORghum bicolor with lower S. metolachlor doses was quite effective in suppressing Purple nutsedge.
