Abstract
The current study, named "Development of organic farming package for brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)," was carried out at the Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth's Research Farm in Rahuri, District of Ahmednagar, Maharashtra (India), during the kharif seasons of 2017 and 2018. Due to weed free treatment followed by mechanical (hoeing) intercultivation and pulling of weeds at 20 days intervals from 20 to 80 days after transplanting of brinjal 2017 and 2018, monocot and dicot weed intensity, category wise weed density (grasses, broad-leaved weeds, sedges), and total dry matter of weeds were significantly at lower magnitudes and weed control efficiency was at higher magnitudes. Weed index was also significantly lower. The mechanical (hoeing) intercultivation method followed by weed-free culture resulted in significantly higher parameters for growth for brinjal.
