biotic factors and low productivity
are the main reasons for decreasing productivity and area of millets. In this
context, evaluation of the effect of weed control practices and varying sowing
dates on grain yield of kharif season grown pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L.) was demonstrated at post
graduate agriculture research station, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad
during 2015. Forage pearl millet was sown at three different sowing dates i.e. mid-June, end of June
and mid-July and four weed control practices viz. weedy check (no weeding),
twice hoeing at 15 and 30 days after sowing (DAS), weed control using
herbicides i.e. application of
Atrazine (Awax 38 SC) @ 330 g a.i. ha-1 at 15 DAS, and twice
foliar applications of 10% Sorghum water extract (Sorgaab) (at 15 and 30 DAS).
The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) under
split plot arrangement, comprising of three replications. The treatments with
varying sowing dates were randomized in main plots and weed control practices
were in subplots. Results showed that the highest plant height (279.51 cm),
leaf area (2777.80 cm2), fresh weight of leaves per plant (155.57
g), maximum number of grains per head (3162.0) and grain yield (3419.7
