Combined Effect of Diclosulam and Pendimethalin on Economics of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)

A field experiment was executed at the BSP Unit, Department of Agronomy, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.) in the Kharif season of 2019-20. Eleven weed control treatments were arranged in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The study demonstrated that the application of Diclosulam 0.9% + Pendimethalin 35% SE at 22.5 + 875 g ha-1 resulted in the highest net monetary return and benefit-cost ratio (37611 Rs and 2.00, respectively) compared to other treatments. Furthermore, this combined application achieved the greatest gross monetary return (Rs 75211 ha-1), closely succeeded by Diclosulam 0.9% + Pendimethalin 35% SE. The highest cultivation cost was observed under manual weeding done twice, amounting to Rs. 44325 ha-1.
