Fifteen weed control treatments comprising of atrazine 1.5&2.0 kg/ha spray and broadcast with sand on 7, 14 and 21 DAS; atrazine 1.5 kg/ha pre-emergence; farmer's practice and weedy check were evaluated for nutrients depletion by weeds in maize during kharif 2013 at Palampur. The soil of the test site was silty clay loam in texture, acidic in reaction, medium in organic carbon, low in N and K and medium in P. Echinochloa colona, Commelina benghalensis, Ageratum conyzoides, Cyperus sp., Digitaria sanguinalis and Panicum dichotomiflorum were the important weeds. Atrazine 2 kg/ha spray at 7 DAS and pre-emergence application of atrazine reduced N, P and K uptake by weeds over weedy check and also gave lowest weed dry weight. Grain yield of maize was also higher when atrazine 2 kg/ha was applied at 7 DAS by spraying and was at par with pre-emergence application of atrazine. Significantly lower N, P and K uptake by weeds was obtained with atrazine 2 kg/ha spray at 7 DAS.Keywords
