International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

may be due initial reduction in weed population on application <strong>of</strong> pre-emergent herbicide<br />

compared to various combinations <strong>of</strong> post-emergent herbicides alone.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Land preparation with zero tillage followed by stale seed bed with the application <strong>of</strong> broadspectrum<br />

herbicide reduced the weed population by 40 per cent. Yield obtained in zero tilled<br />

plots was significantly higher than that in repeatedly tilled plots. Weeds during the crop season<br />

in the zero tilled field can be effectively managed by application <strong>of</strong> pre-emergent herbicide<br />

Pyrazosulfuron @ 0.02 kg ai/ha at 3-5 DAS followed by post-emergent herbicide Penoxulam<br />

+ Cyhal<strong>of</strong>op butyl @ 0.135 kg ai/ha at 18-20 DAS.<br />

Potato is the fourth most important crop in world after rice, wheat, and maize, and is a major<br />

food crop which is consumed by over a billion people. It is identified as the future food and<br />

has immense potential for global as well as national food and nutritional food security. Potato<br />

production, area, and yield have increased by 34, 9.3, and 3.7 times, respectively over the past<br />

seven decades in the country. Now, India holds second position in potato production at global<br />

level as third advance estimate <strong>of</strong> 2021-22 has estimated that total production, area, and<br />

productivity <strong>of</strong> potato is around 54.2 m tonnes, 2.24 m ha and 2.4 t/ha, respectively<br />

(Anonymous, 2022). The prevailing domestic scenario <strong>of</strong> this crop requires diversified<br />

production strategy and further utilization in the national and international markets. One way<br />

may be organic potato cultivation which has good avenues for domestic and export markets.<br />
