Abstract

The present investigations was carried out in the experimental farm to see the effect of different weed management practices on yield and economics of peach cv. July Elberta production, during 2012 and 2013. The study was laid out with 13 treatments in randomized block design and replicated thrice. The results revealed that the treatment combination of grass mulch followed by two applications of glyphosate 0.8 kg/ha (first week of April and second mid-July) was found to be the best treatment for most of the characters among all the treatments, while maximum weed control efficiency was registered in T9. The treatment T11: grass mulch followed by two sprays of glyphosate 0.8 kg/ha was found to be most economical (B:C ratio 4.31:1) for fruit grower’s point of view.
