Competition Losses Caused by Rumex dentatus L. and Chenopodium album L. in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Issue Date

9-2010

Abstract

Field trials were carried out in three consecutive years to evaluate the competition losses caused by Rumex dentatus L. and Chenopodium album L., the two most commonly occurring broad leaf weeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Selected wheat varieties (Inqlab-91 and Punjab-96) incurred 60-65% biomass losses due to weed infestation. The effect was evident on tillering capacity that decreased by 41.6% and, consequently, the crop yield. In various plots, the reduction in total grain weight was as high as 83% compared with the weed-free control.
