Abstract
Impact of tillage practices and sowing methods on weed biomass and growth of mungbean under irrigated condition was studied at the research farm of The University of Agriculture Peshawar, Pakistan during 2010 and 2011. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with a split plot arrangement and replicated four times. Tillage practices, were tine cultivator use twice (TC-2), and the following treatments chisel plow(CR), mouldboard plow (MR), disc plow (DR) and tine cultivator(TCR) were followed by rotavator, while sowing methods were seed drill (SD), combined drill (CD) and broadcasting (BC). Tillage practices were assigned to main plots and sowing methods to sub plots. Statistical analysis of the two years mean data revealed that tillage practices had a significant effect on weed biomass and plant height, while number of branches and biological yield of mungbean were not significantly affected. Sowing methods showed significant affect on weed biomass, plant height, number of branches plantand biological yield of mungbean. Lower dry weed biomass (128 g m) was recorded in plots plowed with MR tillage practices. Higher plant height (77.8 cm) and biological yield (4470kg ha) were recorded in plots plowed with CR and MR tillage practices respectively, while highest dry weed biomass (311 g m), lowest plant height (75.1 cm) and biological yield (4145 kg ha) were recorded in plots plowed with TC-2 tillage practices. Similarly lower weed biomass (177g m), higher plant height (77.8 cm) and biological yield (4537kg ha) were observed in plots of seed drill sowing methods. Therefore, for minimizing weeds and maximizing growth of mungbean MR tillage practices or other tillage implements followed by rotavator along with drill sowing methods should be adopted under irrigated condition.
