ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic and inorganic mulches for weed management in chilli. Results revealed that the treatment of inorganic mulching with black polythene is most effective for controlling of Cyperus rotundus L., Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers., Melilotus alba, Convolvulus arvensis, Chinopodium album, Parthenium hysterophorus and argemone mexicana. The minimum weed biomass ,weed competition index, maximum weed control efficiency and higher yield was also reported with black polythene inorganic mulch.
Key words :
Chilli, Inorganic mulch, Organic mulch, Weed density, Weeds parameters, Yield & economics.
