Abstract

An experiment was conducted at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during rabi 2020-21 on loamy sand soils to study energy balance of weed management practices in mustard. The energy balance studies were determined by using direct and indirect energy. Among the different weed management practices, Stomp 30 % EC as PE fb straw mulch 5 t ha-1 recorded higher energy input. This treatment was followed by Goal 23.5 % EC as PE fb straw mulch 5 t ha-1 and Raft 6 % EC as PE fb straw mulch 5 t ha-1. Maximum energy output, net energy, energy use efficiency and energy productivity were noticed under intercultivation and hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS and it was statistically on par with Raft 6 % EC as PE fb intercultivation at 30 DAS, Goal 23.5 % EC as PE fb intercultivation at 30 DAS and Stomp 30 % EC as PE fb intercultivation at 30 DAS.
