A field experiment was conducted at ARS, Repoli (180.18' North latitude and 730.32' East longitude), to study the bioefficacy and phytotoxicity of Carfentrazone-Ethyl40% DF in direct seeded rice during Summer (January) of 2018. The field experiment was laid out in randomised block design with 14 treatments consists of Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 12.5 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 25 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 50 g ml-1 a.i.ha-1 at 20 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 12.5 g ml-1 a.i.ha-1at 30 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40 per cent DF @ 25 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 30 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 50 g ml-1 a.i.ha-1at 30 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 12.5 g ml-1 a.i.ha-1 at 40 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 25 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 40 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 50 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 40 DAS, Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 25 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 30 DAS (market product), Oxyflourofen 23.5% EC @ 150-240 a.i. ha-1 at 30 DAS, Bispyribac sodium 10% SC @ 20 g ml-1 ha-1 at 30 DAS, Untreated control and Hand weeding at 20 DAS and 40 DAS and three replications. Application of Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF @ 25 g ml-1 a.i. ha-1 at 30 DAS recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield as compared to rest of the treatments under study as well as more weed control efficiency (86.19%) at harvest. No phytotoxicity effect was observed in any treatment after testing Carfentrozone ethyl 40% DF in direct seeded rice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sweet corn is one of the most important and versatile emerging cereal crop contributing to economic security of the farmers in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. It is a potential crop in rabi season where irrigation facility is available. An investigation was carried out to evaluate the response of sweet corn to irrigation and fertigation grown in manad soils of Raigad district during the rabi seasons of 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Agriculture Research Station, Repoli, Tal. Mangaon, Dist. Raigad (Maharashtra) with the objective of saving irrigation water and fertilizers. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with fifteen treatment combinations of three drip irrigation and five fertigation levels. A treatment with recommended package of practice for sweet corn was maintained separately as control. N, P2O5 and K2O was applied through fertigation in six equal splits at 15 days interval in all fertigation treatments by using water soluble fertilizers. Analysis of the pooled data revealed that the number of cobs ha-1 (71825) and cob yield (18.86 t ha-1) of sweet corn was significantly higher at irrigation level of 80% ETc, but was at par with irrigation level of 60% ETc. While, fertigation level of 80% of recommended N, P and K recorded significantly higher number of cobs ha-1 (74871) and cob yield (20.87 t ha-1) of sweet corn, however it was at par with fertigation level of 100% of recommended N, P and K. The interaction between the treatments were non-significant except during the 2016-27 season. Based on additional net returns of ₹15844 with incremental cost benefit ratio of 0.44 over control, application of irrigation at 80% ETc along with fertigation of 80% of recommended N, P and K through drip may be recommended for growing rabi sweet corn in the irrigated areas of Konkan region in Maharashtra.
