ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted to assess the pre-emergence herbicide application on the growth and yield of cotton. Treatments for weed control were herbicides including, Dual Gold 960 EC 2000 ml ha‾1, Dual Gold 960 EC 2500 ml ha‾1, Stomp 330 EC 1.25 Lit ha‾1, Stomp 330 EC 1.50 Lit ha‾1, Stomp 455 C. S 0.66 Lit ha‾1, Stomp 455 C.S 1.00 Lit ha‾1 and control (untreated). Three weed species i.e., broad leaved (locally called Waho, and Naro), grasses (locally called (Sawri, Chabber, Mandhano) and sedges (locally called Kabah) were found in the cotton field. Weed density reduced by 174 percent over untreated control significantly with the application of Stomp 455 C.S 0.66 Lit ha‾1 as pre-emergence weed control. The greater reduction of weed species resulted taller plants, more fruiting branches, seed cotton weight, and ginning out-turn percentage. Therefore it is concluded that Stomp 455 C.S 0.66 Lit ha‾1 is an effective pre-emergence weed control treatment for achieving maximum cotton yield and ginning out-turn.
