INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES • Introduction • Grape (VitisviniferaL.) vine is grown in West and South India especially in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, to a great extent. • The varieties gowns are Anab-e- Shahi and Thomson Seedless. • The grapes are grown on different training systems depending upon the varieties and the purpose for which they are grown. • These different systems allow the growth of various types of weeds. • In Bower system,soon after pruning of grapes, there is lot of sunshine underneath which allows the growth of cyperusrotundusand Oxalis corniculata. • After sometime, the vegetative growth of grape increases and shades the underneath space with result Polygon plebejum, Euphorbia geniculata, Amaranthusviridis, Portiulacaoleracea, Oxalis sp. And Mullugopentaphylla among dicots and Digitariamarginata, Eleusineindica, and Setariaglaucaamong monocots come up. Previous Next End
INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES • Weed control methods • Control of weeds in grape is very important to maintain the yield and quality levels as it is a commercially important crop. • The Different weed control methods are as follows • Hand weeding • Mechanical method • Mulching • Cover cropping • Chemical weed control Previous Next End
INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES • Hand weeding • Euphorbia geniculataand E. hirta, which appear as major weeds, carry fungal and insect pests and act as alternative hosts. • The usual method of weed control in manual by employing women labour. • They use khurpi, a small hand operated implement, to remove the weeds.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES • Mechanical method • In mechanical method of weed control by using bullock drawn implement is very common in Maharashtra. • In scientific orchard management, motor run tractors and power trillers are used to cultivate the inter rows of grape. • But in young orchards, the root system of grape being shallow, mechanical methods using machinery becomes difficult. • In such cases, usage of spade for hoeing is preferred.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES • Mulching • Mulching with inorganic materials like black polythene film and organic materials like sarkanda, wheat and rice straw, sugar cane trash, dried leaves and saw dust have been advocated for conserving soil moisture and fostering rapid growth of plants. • Sarkanda was found to be the best mulch for grape in Punjab and black polythene in Tamil Nadu.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES Cover cropping The general cover crops grown in grape orchards are : • French beans • Cucurbits • Sun hemp and • Mung • Cowpea Previous Next End
INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN GRAPES • Chemical weed control • Chemical weed control using herbicides has been tried in grape by several workers. • These worker have used either simazine, atrazine, diuron, dalapon, oxyfluronfen, paraquat, or glyphosate. • Except paraquat and glyphosate, which were used as post-emergent sprays, all other herbicides were used pre-emergent to weeds. • One spray of atrazine or simazine or diuron at 2.0 kg a.i./ha as pre-emergent spray followed after six months by two post-emergent spraysof parquet at 2.0 kg a.i./ha at three monthly intervals for grape cv. Banglore Blue. Oxyflurofen at 1.0 kg a.i./ha as pre-emergent spray and glyphosate at 3.0 kg a.i./has post-emergent spray proved veryb effective for controlling weeds for four and six months respectively in grape cv. Anab-e-Shahi. • Herbicides in mulched vineyards have also been tried successfully. Previous Next End
