The present study entitled "Evaluation of Bio-efficacy of Mesotrione 2.27% w/w + Atrazine 22.7% w/w SC against weeds of Maize (Zea mays L.)" was conducted during Kharif 2021-22 at the Student's Instructional Farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Nawabganj, Kanpur (U.P.). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with ten treatments and three replications to evaluate the effectiveness of different doses of Mesotrione + Atrazine for weed control in maize and its effect on crop productivity and economics. The maize crop was infested with major weeds such as Cyperus rotundus, Echinochloa colona, Digitaria sanguinalis, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Commelina benghalensis and Trianthema spp. Weed infestation caused about 33% reduction in maize yield. Among the treatments, Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC @ 4000 ml ha⁻¹ provided effective weed control and significantly improved growth and yield attributes. This treatment recorded the highest grain yield (35.18 q ha⁻¹) along with maximum net return (₹50,138 ha⁻¹) and B: C ratio (2.13), indicating that this herbicide combination is an effective and economical option for weed management in maize.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
