Abstract
A field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soil at Sriniketan, Visva-Bharati University, Birbhum, West Bengal, India during 1999 to 2009 in medium land transplanted rice-yellow sarson cropping system to know the effect of continuous use of weed management practices on weed shift and yield. Continuous use of butachlor at 1.0 kg as preemergence + 2, 4-D (Na- Salt) at 0.4 kg as post emergence in rice paved the way for dominance of sedge like Fimbristylis miliacea and grass like Digitaria sanguinalis in rice under rice- yellow sarson cropping system. Rotational use of pretilachlor at 1.0 kg and butachlor at 1.0 kg as pre-emergence + 2, 4- D (Na-Salt) at 0.5 kg with organic matter lowered the menace of broadleaved as well as sedges, but not the grasses and registered higher yield of rice in 2009. Continuous or rotational use of pretilachlor or butachlor + 2, 4-D (Na- Salt) resulted in disappearance of Hydrolea zeylanica but Cynodon dactylon appeared as one of the dominant grassy weeds in 2009. Similarly continuous or rotational use of pendimethalin and isoproturon at 1.0 kg in yellow sarson lowered the density of Digitaria sanguinalis in 2009. Cynodon dactylon and Croton bonplandianum which were not present initially came into dominant group in the final year. Rotational use of isoproturon or pendimethalin along with FYM reduced the number of grasses and broadleaved weeds and registered higher yield of yellow sarson over other treatments.
