EFFECT OF DIFFERENT WEED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON YIELD OF POTATO IN CHATTOGRAM HILL DISTRICTS OF ...

A field experiment using potato was conducted in 2017-2018 at farmer's fields in the three hill districts of Chattogram, Bangladesh, to examine the influence of different weed management strategies on potato yield. T3 (Hand weeding + Mulching= Two hand weeding was done in 30 DAT and 90 DAT and straw mulching was done in 30 DAT and continued up to harvesting) had the highest weed control efficiency and marketable tuber yield, followed by T4 (Herbicide =Apply paraquat in 30 DAT and 60 DAT @ 851 g a.i. ha-1), T2 (Mulching= Straw mulch were done in 30 DAT and continued up to T6 unweeded control treatment yielded the lowest yield. As a result of the experiment's findings, we now have a fantastic potential to use hand weeding and mulching in combination to deal with the labour shortage and reduce cultivation costs in Chattogram's hill areas..
