ABSTRACT
The investigation was carried out in the experimental farm of Department of Fruit Science, Dr Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan to study the influence of different weed management practices on fruit quality parameters of peach cv. July Elberta, during the year 2012 and 2013. The study was laid out with 13 treatments in randomized block design and replicated thrice. Peach trees were treated with different treatment combinations viz., T1 : pendimethalin (1.0 kg/ha), T2 : pendimethalin (1.5 kg/ha), T3 : pendimethalin (2.0 kg/ha), T4: glyphosate (0.8 kg/ha), T5 : glyphosate (1.6 kg/ha), T6 : glyphosate (2.4 kg/ha), T7 : pendimethalin (1.0 kg/ha) followed by glyphosate (0.8 kg/ha), T8 : pendimethalin (1.5 kg/ha) followed by glyphosate (0.8 kg/ha), T9 : pendimethalin (2.0 kg/ ha) followed by glyphosate (0.8 kg/ha), T10 : pendimethalin (2.0 kg/ha) followed by grass mulch, T11 : grass mulch followed by glyphosate (0.8 kg/ha), T12 : hand weeding at 30 days interval and T13: control. The results revealed that the treatment combination of grass mulch followed by two applications of glyphosate 0.8 kg/ha (First week of April and second mid-July) was found to be the best treatment for most of the fruit quality characters among all the treatments. and maximum weed control efficiency was registered in T9.
