A field experiment was conducted at the farmers’ field in Panchrukhi block of Kangra District (H.P.) during kharif 2019 to evaluate the bio-efficacy and phytotoxicity of glyphosate 41% SL in tea (Camellia sinensis). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with ten treatments and was replicated thrice. The treatments comprised of six doses of a new formulation of glyphosate 41 % SL (All Clear, Anu Products Ltd.) 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 8.0 litre / ha, glyphosate 41 % SL (Roundup, Monsanto), glyphosate 71 % SG 3.0 kg / ha and weedy and weed free checks. Major weeds that were found to infest the experimental tea orchard included Erigeron canadensis, Ageratum conyzoides, Cynodon dactylon, Imperata cylindrica, Paspalum conjugatum and Polygonum alatum. The results revealed that in tea crop weeds can be effectively controlled with the application of glyphosate 41% SL (All Clear) 3.0 litre/ha and 4.0 litre/ha. No phytotoxicity symptoms on tea were observed at any of dose of herbicide.Keywords
