Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to herbicidal composition for crop production management. More particularly, the present invention provides a synergistic composition of metribuzin and fluroxypyr esters, salts or combination thereof for controlling a wide spectrum of weeds and method thereof.

Background of the Invention
Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the present invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

For realizing full genetic yield potential of the crop, the proper weed control is one of the essential ingredients. Weeds not only reduce the yield but also make the harvesting operation difficult. Therefore, for sustaining food grain production to feed ever- increasing population and ensuring food security, effective weed management is very essential. Manual and mechanical methods are laborious, tiresome, and expensive due to increasing cost of labor, and weeds cannot effectively be managed merely due to crop mimicry. Therefore, it is a requirement to devise a method, which are economical and less time consuming for better yield of the crop. One of the method is chemical method using herbicides. However, most of the herbicidal formulations are having limitations of having phytotoxic effects, distorted leaves, colour changes of leaves and many more side effects in crop plants.

The new agricultural strategy expansion of irrigation, adoption of high yielding varieties under conditions of heavy fertilizer application helped a lot in increasing wheat crop growth, production, and productivity, however, these strategies have also stimulated various weed flora growth faced by the wheat growers which can cause significant yield loss. The undesirable competition includes broad leaf weeds and grasses. Weeds account for about one third of total losses caused by all pests. Therefore, the use chemical weed control has become necessary.
Currently various chemical methods have been developed by combining various herbicides and using such formulation for crop production management, however, such formulation is not that much effective to handle all the harmful effects of the crop plants.

Chemical weed control method is the most ideal, practical, effective, up-to-date, time saving and economical means of reducing early weed competition and crop production losses. But the exclusive reliance on same herbicides has resulted in pollution of the environment and some weed species becoming resistant and inter- and intra-specific shifts.

Considering the existing challenges according to the current methods, there is need to devise and evaluate the efficacy of suitable postemergence herbicides alone and in mixture for effective control of broad leaf weeds and grasses that can help in resistance management.

The following formula was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containing active ingredients, A and B:
Expected (E) A+B - AB/100
Where
A = Observed efficacy of active ingredient (combination of Metribuzin and Fluroxypyr herbicides) A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingredient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.

The field experiments were carried out to test the synergy of the combination of Metribuzin and Fluroxypyr against weeds in wheat (variety: PBW 667) at Ambala Research Farm, Haryana during Rabi season. The soil was sandy loam in texture. The experiment comprising of 8 treatments including premixed binary combinations along with their stand-alone molecule using a randomized block design replicated thrice. All the treatments were applied as post-emergence foliar application when the weeds reached to two to four leaf stage. The spray was conducted with the help of Battery-operated Knapsack sprayer. The percentage efficacy was calculated after 14 and 21 days after application of herbicides.

Weeds present in the experimental fields: Chenopodium album, Rumex dentatus, Anagalis arvensis, Medicago denticulata, Solanum nigrum, Argemone maxicana, Parthenium hysterophorus, Melilotus indica, Phalaris minor.
