Cheema et. al. (1985) reported that sowing on 8 June resulted in
significantly greater yields than sowing on 24 May or 24 June, but sowing
date did not affect the grain protein content. The crop grown on 8 July did
not reach maturity due to low temperature during its growth period.

Kathiresan et. al. (1997) reported that sowing one week before the
onset of monsoon produced the highest grain yield of 1956 kg/ha.
Singh and Singh(2000) reported that the 15 March sowing and
application of 150% of the recommended N rate recorded significantly higher
values of yield attributes and grain and straw yields. At Majhera,
Uttarakhand Grain production efficiency under 15 and 30 Marchsowings
and at 100 and 150% of the recommended N rate was non-significant. The
significant effect of different cultivars could not be visualized on pooled grain
yield and grain production efficiency of rice.
Suresh et. al. (2001) reported that sowing date significantly affected
the grain and straw yields of rice. At Tamil Nadu sowing in second week of
October resulted in significant reduction in grain and straw yield of all
cultivars. This treatment also resulted in reduced crop height, number of
productive tillers, panicle length, number of grain per panicle and 1000
grain weight.

Mandal et. al. (2002) reported that as the levels of nitrogen increased
from 0 to 60 kg/ha the average grain yield also increased by 33.1 and 61.2%
during first and second years, respectively.
Singh and Tripathi (2007) reported that there was significant
increase in grain and straw yield as well as yield attributes, like panicle per
meter square and test weight, with every increase in dose of nitrogen up to
120 kg/ha.
Bond et al. (2008) reported that lowest applied nitrogen rate had
lower yield than the other two nitrogen rates. Rough rice yields were 7564 for
67 kg N/ha, 8520 for 134 kg N/ha and 9000 kg for 202 kg N/ha. Panicle
density responded to nitrogen rate similar to rough rice yield. Panicle density
increased with seeding rate up to 418 panicles/m2.
2.3. Crop and weed competition
Competition between crop and weed begins when the supply of any
necessary growth factor falls below the demand of both crop and weed, when
they grow in close proximity. In paddy rice more competition faces by weeds
as compare to transplanting, because in paddy rice weed germinate earlier
than crop and dominant on the crop which germinate later one but in
transplanting 20-25 days old seedling are planted in field which will able to
suppress weed up to same extent. Weedpopulation, dry matter accumulation
of weeds and nitrogen depletion increased by weeds with weedy period up to
45 DAS after which a decline of these observations were noticed by (Singh
and Bhan, 1985). Azmi

Weed menace is one of the major factors affecting productivity in paddy rice
leading to more than 50% loss in yield (Singh et al., 2000).
The key issue for successful cultivation in paddy rice is control of
weeds like Echinochloa spp. Cyperus spp., The extent of yield loss due to
weeds in paddy rice varied from 40-100% (Choubey et al., 2001). The yield
reduction due to E. crusgalli and E. colona ranged from 50-60% in upland
paddy rice (Dixit and Bhan, 2001).
Singh and Singh (2001) from Pantnagar observed that competition
with Cyperus rotundus only, on an average caused 52.2% reduction in grain
yield of rice, whereas competition with all other weeds growing with crop
caused 86.7% reduction in grain yield.
Bahar and Singh (2004) reported that the highest weed dry matter
production was recorded in weedy check. Highest rate of dry matter
production (18.0 gm-2 day-1) were found in unweeded plot which cause 98.6%
reduction in grain yield of rice.
competition to the crop in early stage and cause heavy reduction in rice
yield, uncontrolled weeds reduce rice yield up to 80% in paddy upland rice
(Subbaiah and Sreedevi 2005).
Ramana et al. (2007) from Andhra Pradesh reported that there were
reduction in yield due to uncontrolled weed growth was 62.2% compared
with weed free check.

practices are only effective when weeds attain height to provide better grip
for uprooting (Bhan et al., 1980).
Rekha et al. (2002)reported that twice hand weeding resulted in
lower weed density compared to weedicides and untreated control. As
handweeding is laborious, tedious, time consuming and expensive method
hence cannot be practicable at large scale. Baloch et al. (2000) found that
hand weeding is the most useful method for controlling annual and certain
perennial weeds that usually do not regenerate from underground parts. It is
practical and traditional but labour intensive method, which usually takes
around 120 hr/ha, while chemical weed control takes around 4 hr/ha .
Moreover, hand weeding of young weeds at the initial crop growth stage is
very difficult especially if the soil moisture is inadequate.

chlorotic and stops growing. This is followed by necrosis and death of plant
tissues. Selectivity is largely based on differential rates of metabolism among
species. The tolerance of some turf species to bispyribac-sodium is due to
their ability to rapidly metabolize and thereby detoxify this herbicide.
It is recently introduced herbicide have the similar mode of action as the
Sulfonylureas. it is highly selective, post-emergence low mammalian toxic
and low dose (15-40 g ha-1) require herbicides so become popular now a days
to weed control in rice growing area either transplanting or paddy(Das,
2008).
To manage the weeds in paddy rice, four herbicides were tested and
compared their efficacy with hand weeding. Among the herbicides bispyribac
100SC sodium and ethoxy sulfuron 60WG proved as the best herbicides with
90.5 and 87.19% weed control, respectively. The paddy yield in both the
herbicides treatments was also comparatively higher than other herbicides.
The highest net benefit was obtained by the application of Bispyribac sodium
100SC followed by Ethoxy sulfuron 60WG treatment while the lowest net
benefit was provided by control (weedy check). No doubt, the result of hand
weeding are significantly better but as it is time consuming and laborious
hence cannot be recommended at large scale. (Hussain et al., 2008).
A. philoxiroides, Aeschenomene indica, Ammania coccinea, `and
Heteranthera limosa were also controlled by bispyribacsoduim (Braverman
and Jordan, 1996). Abeysekera, (1999) found that bispyribac sodium was
the leading herbicide and L. chinensis was selected as a serious weed in wet

land rice fields. After it germinates, it grows profusely in water logged spots
in rice field because of very poor land leveling in farmer field. At present,
many herbicides have difficulty in controlling this weed. Earlier researches
also reported that bispyribacsodium controlled many narrowleaf and
broadleaf weeds such as C. diffusa, C. iria, E. crusgalli, Fimbristyllis spp.,
Leersia oryzoides, Murdania sp., P. distichum, Polygonum sp., Sagittaria spp.,
Scirpus spp., and (Han, 2001).
Hussain et al., (2008) tested four weedicides and compared their
efficacy with hand weeding. Among these weedicides Nominee 100 SC
(Bispyribac Sodium) and Sunstar Gold 60 WG (Ethoxy Sulfuron) proved as
the best weedicides with 90.5 and 87.2% weed control, respectively. The
paddy yield in both herbicides treatments was also comparatively higher
than other herbicides. Bispyribac (Regiment) and penoxsulam (Grasp) are
selective, contact rice herbicides for postemergence control of grasses,
sedges, and broadleaf weeds, includingbarnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli)
and hemp sesbania (Sesbania exaltata). Both herbicides control weeds by
inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, whichblocksbranchedchain-amino acid biosynthesis (Carey et. al., 2000; Vencill, 2002; Dow
Agro Sciences, 2005).
In research trials, barnyardgrass control with bispyribac has been
excellent (98 to100%) (Williams, 1999). However, inconsistent control has
been observed in commercial rice fields. Applications made in less than
optimal conditions, such as the use of low application volumes or application
