Idoneidad en la designación del directivo público en el Perú
Authors: Huaranga Cristobal Ronald
Published: July 2023

El presente artículo busca analizar la designación de puestos directivos en las instituciones públicas en el Perú. De manera puntual revisa la designación de cargos de confianza para ocupar cargos directivos, contra la designación meritocrática en el Cuerpo de Gerentes Públicos y Fondo de Apoyo Gerencial, como un elemento potencial de la eficiencia de la gestión pública. Este artículo es de carácter descriptivo y utiliza el método inductivo, toda vez que utiliza proposiciones particulares de artículos y documentos normativos relacionados a la gerencia pública en el Perú, llevadas a cabo en los últimos años, para arribar conclusiones generales y específicas. Los resultados encontrados en la presente investigación describen que la designación de puestos directivos en Perú está sujeta a dos actores: la clase política, que prioriza la confianza personal sobre la meritocracia, y la función pública profesional, que sigue un riguroso proceso de selección, pero carece de garantías para ocupar un puesto para el cual se califica. El cuerpo de gerentes públicos; y, el personal altamente calificado, financiado con el Fondo de Apoyo Gerencial (FAG), representan los modelos meritocráticos y transparentes, aunque este último ha recibido cuestionamientos. La designación de cargos de confianza en puestos directivos es frágil, ya que se prioriza la confianza en lugar de la meritocracia, lo que conlleva a ineficiencia en el aparato estatal. Es necesario implementar mecanismos de transparencia y exigencia en los procesos de selección. Esto asegurará un mejor equipo de directivos, y consecuentemente un mejor futuro para el país.
La articulación territorial de los tambos en la Región Amazonas durante el año 2020
Authors: Velásquez Lluén Franklin Junior
Published: July 2023

La representación territorial apunta a mejorar la gestión de los programas sociales en el Perú. Este enfoque propone que la coordinación entre los diferentes actores y niveles de gobierno es fundamental en la búsqueda de una gestión eficaz y eficiente. En el contexto peruano, la articulación territorial es particularmente importante debido a la diversidad geográfica, social y cultural del país. La implementación de programas sociales en áreas rurales y remotas puede ser particularmente difícil debido a la falta de infraestructura y recursos. En vista de esto, la articulación territorial puede ser una contribución significativa.
 
Por lo tanto, la investigación actual, realizada en 2020 en la región de Amazonas, nos lleva a plantear que las acciones formuladas —promovidas desde las plataformas tambos y con apoyo de las instituciones estatales de varios niveles de gobierno— tienen consecuencias positivas que contribuyen a la mejora de la calidad de vida.

Published: July 2023

Correlation between thermal expansions β(T) and heat capacity C(T) of atomic and molecular crystals, amorphous materials with a structural disorder, carbon nanomaterials (fullerite C60, bundles SWCNTs of single-walled carbon nanotubes) was analyzed. The influence of the contribution to the coefficient of linear thermal expansion αXe(T) of Xe atoms adsorbed on the SWCNTs bundles is considered. The proportional correlation was found between the contribution to the coefficient of linear thermal expansion αXe(T) and the normalized to the gas constant heat capacity C Xe(T)/R of Xe atoms adsorbed on the SWCNTs bundles. The proportional correlation (β/β*) ∼ (CV/R) with the parameter β* for the bulk thermal expansion coefficient for cryocrystals is proposed. In the case of atomic crystals such as Xe and Ar, the proportional correlation (β/β*) ∼ (CV/R) is observed in the temperature range from the lowest experimental to temperatures where CV/R ≈ 2.3. The correlation is not observed in the temperatures where 2.3 < C V/R < 3 (classical Dulong-Petit law). It was found that the universal proportional correlation is also observed for molecular crystals with linear symmetry, such as CO2, CO, and N2O if the normalized heat capacity below the values CV/R ≈ 3 ÷ 3.5. It indicates that the proportional correlation between thermal expansions (β/β*) and heat capacity (CV/R) is related not only to the translational, but also to the rotational degrees of freedom of the molecule in the crystal. In the case of the C0, molecular crystal with translational and rotational degrees of freedom and intramolecular vibrations, the discussed above correlation occurs below the values of normalized heat capacity CV/R ≈ 7.5. In strongly anisotropic systems, such as systems of compacted bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes and SWCNTs bundles with adsorbed Xe atoms, this universal dependence appears in a limited temperature range that does not include the lowest temperatures. A qualitative explanation of the observed correlation is proposed.
Pressure And Velocity Fields Decomposition Around A Flapping Wing
Authors: Raiola M.
Published: July 2023

In the present work, the velocity and pressure fields around a flapping airfoil in pitching/heaving sinusoidal motion are decomposed in modes in the wing-fixed reference frame. This approach is aimed at assessing the contribution of the fluid structures forming on the wing surface to the aerodynamic forces. The velocity field used for this work have been obtained through Particle Image Velocity experiments at a chord-based Reynolds number of 3600 and a Strouhal number equal to 0.2. The pressure field has been reconstructed from the phase-average velocity fields using a finite-differences Poisson solver. Finally, the velocity and pressure fields have been interpolated on a wing-fixed domain and decomposed using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Quadratic Stochastic Estimation to account for the quadratic relation between velocity and pressure. The decomposition identified vortical flow structures over the wing which model the evolution of bound vorticity, as well as leading edge and trailing edge vortices, over the wing. These modes contribute linearly to the chord-normal force by interacting with the constant free stream contained in the time average, as well as quadratically to the chord-wise force.
Comparative Accuracy Study Of LDV Profile-Sensor Acquisition Modes And Particle Diameters
Authors: Pasch S. , Leister R. , Egner M. , Büttner L. , Czarske J. , Kriegseis J.
Published: July 2023

The laser Doppler velocity profile sensor (LDV-PS) system offers the possibility to measure flow velocities with high spatial resolution and is therefore a promising method for the investigation of flows with high velocity gradients. The present experimental study revolves around the interplay between a broad range of chosen LDV-PS acquisition parameters, the dynamic velocity range within the observed measurement volume, and the accuracy of the velocity and position estimation from an application perspective. In the chosen set-up, thin wires of different diameters rotate at varying velocity levels and are captured instead of tracer particles by the applied system. It is observed that constant sample rate and number for the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) evaluation of the detected burst signal allow straightforward measurements of unknown velocity profiles, but imply a velocity-dependent spatial measurement uncertainty. In contrast, velocity-adjusted acquisition settings allow to acquire particle bursts with equal signal resolution and length effecting a constant measurement accuracy at all velocity levels when adjusted appropriately. The position standard deviation is furthermore observed to increase with the wire diameter.Hence, the size of the scattering object should be chosen appropriately small during calibration and measurement. The gained knowledge offers the possibility to adapt the evaluation parameters more specifically to a given measurement problem.Consequently, measurements can be conducted in flows with small velocities with a high spacial resolution, when the FFT parameters and processing routines are adjusted accordingly, small particles are chosen and vibrations in the set-up are avoided.

Published: July 2023

Laser Doppler anemometry is a state-of-the-art non-invasive experimental flow measurement technique. Traditionally used linear traversing units can only change the position of the measurement probe, but cannot change the orientation of the probe. A six degrees of freedom robot can simplify and fasten up the pose planning and measurement process real-offline. A developed LDA software plug-in for RobotStudio is used to real-offline plan and perform flow measurements in an open wind channel (flow rate = 300 m³/h) with an ellipsoid (diameter y=z = 140 mm and x = 40 mm). In 25 mm, 20 mm, 15 mm, 10 mm, 5 mm and 2 mm orthogonal distance of the ellipsoid surface the tangential velocity component is determined. Accuracy and repeatability of the robot-LDA system is found and compared to the traditional linear traversing system. Results show a positive velocity gradient towards the axis of the wind channel with a velocity range of 4.4 – 20.3 m/s. At 25 mm distance the tangential velocity is in the range of 4.4 – 12.5 m/s, at 20 mm 7.6 – 17.5 m/s, at 15 mm 12.1 – 19.7 m/s, at 10 mm 16.5 – 20.1 m/s, at 5 mm 19.0 – 20.2 m/s and at 2 mm 18.3 – 20.3 m/s. In positive y and negative z-direction, a reduction of the tangential velocity component is found in all measurements. At a distance of 25 mm, the measurement surface is slightly outside to the wind channel inlet (diameter = 80 mm). The closer the measurement surface is at the wind channel axis, the higher is the wind channel axial component. Robot-LDA average accuracy of 13 µm and repeatability of 10 µm is in the range of the linear traversing unit where the accuracy is 20 µm and the repeatability is 6 µm. The robot-LDA measurement system is an alternative to the existing linear-LDA with the advantages of real-offline robot path planning for arbitrary surfaces requiring six degrees of freedom probe placement.
Impact Of Porous-Media Topology On Turbulent Fluid Flow: Time-Resolved PIV Measurements
Authors: Härter J. , Poser R. , Weigand B. , Lamanna G.
Published: July 2023

An investigation of the interactions between a turbulent duct flow above a 3D porous medium with a periodic topology is reported. Both spatially and temporally resolved point measurements of velocity in the free flow and at the interface of the porous medium using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique are presented. A Schwarz Primitive triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) with a frequency of f = Π/20 printed from polyamide PA12 with a porosity of ϕ = 0.92 was investigated as a porous structure. The periodicity of the model results in two different topologies, hill- and valley-alignment, each of which represent a measurement plane. These different alignments show a strong influence on the turbulent flow above the porous me dium. In addition to the time-averaged velocity field for the two alignments, velocity profiles as well as turbulent kinetic energy profiles at selected positions in flow direction are also shown. The influence of the turbulent channel flow on the porous model is shown by a contour plot of the time-resolved velocity, where this represents the turbulent fluctuation at a point in t ime. For the time-resolved plot, the same influence of the different topology to the respective alignments is shown. With these time-resolved measurements, transient flow processes could be resolved, such as the detachment and attachment of the flow to the porous surface, which are also shown in this paper. These measurements provide an insight into the mechanism of energy, mass and momentum transfer at the interface between the free stream and the porous medium. The results presented are useful for further understanding of turbulent flows on flush mounted complex 3D structures and the influence of the periodic surface on the free flow.

Teachers’ Perception and Practice of English Language Teaching Following CLT Approach in Chinese Higher Education - A Study of Two Higher Educational Institutions in China
Authors: Hu Xin , Du Haiying
Published: July 2023

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of teachers’ perception and practice of English language teaching in the implementation of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach in two Chinese universities, which was conducted with three pragmatic purposes: 1). to investigate teachers’ perception on the characteristics of CLT approach used in English language teaching; 2). to identify teachers’ perceived practice of instructional strategies with CLT approach in helping students develop their communicative language skills; 3). to explore the problems and obstacles in the midst of English language teaching with it. The mixed methodology of (Quant +qual) approaches was employed in this study. The data was collected from forty college English teachers who were working at the Department of Applied English through survey questionnaire, a case study, and semi-structured phone-call interview. The findings revealed that almost teachers’ perception and practice had a noticeably positive correlativity with the characteristics of CLT approach in ELT, directly manifesting that the three intricate characteristics and instructional strategies of CLT approach in practice as they’ve frequently perceived highly related to the improvement of students’ English language communication skills, respectively. Nevertheless, some problems and obstacles were likewise illustrated, which probed to be difficultly operated in prolific English language teaching class within CLT approach. Implications for the study are that teachers’ perception and practice of ELT with the characteristics of CLT approach have meaningful effects on ELT development in Chinese higher education as well as the exhibited issues in class operation profoundly requires consideration to be kept from in college class.
The Impact of a Child Life Video Preparation on Preoperative Anxiety and Post-Hospital Behaviors
Authors: Chicas Natalie , Knott Hannah , Lew Daphne , Poon Selina
Published: July 2023

Purpose

Children undergoing surgery can experience significant preoperative anxiety and fear, which has been linked to regressive postoperative behaviors. Psychological preparation has been shown to reduce anxiety at time of anesthesia induction as well as negative behavioral changes after surgery. The current study seeks to provide insight into the impact of a video modeling intervention on preoperative anxiety and postoperative behavior changes.

Method

Participants included 60 patients ages 5 to 10 years undergoing same-day surgery. Patients were randomized into the video group (VG;n = 34) or no video group (NVG;n = 26). The Children’s Fear Scale (CFS) was administered to the patient and parent at the preoperative visit and again the day of surgery. The Post Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire-Ambulatory Surgery (PHBQ-AS) was administered via telephone at postoperative days 2 and 14.

Result

This study found that an informational video designed by a child life specialist is an effective tool for reducing preoperative anxiety and postoperative behavior changes in children ages 5 to 10 years old undergoing ambulatory surgery.

Conclusion

The video intervention benefitted patients when added to the provision of standard child life specialist services. Video modeling interventions, particularly when informed by the expertise of a child life specialist, are a useful modality for preoperative preparation of pediatric patients.

Early Warning System from the point of view of the administrative representatives of national parliaments in Brussels
Authors: Ares Castro-Conde Cristina , Patiño Helena
Published: July 2023

Under Protocol No. 2 on the Application of the Principles of Subsidiarity and Proportionality, national Parliaments have been granted participation in EU law-making through the Early Warning System (EWS). Within the framework of this mechanism, national chambers can evaluate EU legislative proposals on subsidiarity grounds, within an eight-week period, following their submission by the European Commission. The contribution of the National Parliaments Representatives at the European Parliament (or the liaison officers) is crucial for the national chambers to follow up on the Union agenda and participate in EU affairs. This study offers novel data that were collected through a questionnaire administered to the liaison officers in 2022. In brief, these transnational practitioners tend to express scepticism with regard to the EWS and its eventual reform, and at the same time, they would welcome an enhancement of the much broader “political dialogue” between the European Commission and national Parliaments.
deficiencias de la democracia representativa europea

Published: July 2023

Las crisis, una vez superadas, deben brindar la oportunidad de reflexionar y poner en marcha mecanismos de mejora. La vida política a escala europea sigue presentándose incapaz de desvincularse de las estructuras y visiones nacionales. En este escenario, el Parlamento Europeo materializa difícilmente el principio de representatividad que le encomiendan los tratados. A lo largo de este artículo pondremos de manifiesto que nuestras instituciones europeas, especialmente en lo que concierne a la actividad del Parlamento, presentan una deficiente legitimidad democrática, debido, principalmente, al rol primordial conferido a los Estados y a las propias dinámicas electorales de los partidos políticos. Intentar avanzar hacia un auténtico espacio público transnacional no es solo un mandato, sino también un deber para con los ciudadanos europeos.

Data Warehouse, Detection and Transfer of Anomalies in Retail Data
Authors: CIRKIN Onur
Published: July 2023

In this article, we offer some suggestions for anomaly detection on the data received from the source to the Data warehouse. As a result, it is aimed to prevent the entry of dirty and noisy data into the data warehouse. We think that knowing that there is clean and healthy data in the data warehouse will be resistant to anomalies in the processed data used for data science. In order to reach our goal, studies were carried out on the data in the retail sector. We aimed to determine our theoretical thoughts from some topics such as user erroneous login data in the retail and energy industry, abnormal sales over employees during the campaign period, product stock abnormality, and incorrect pricing. When we examined many studies, we saw that they made anomaly detection after estimation. Before taking the data from the source to the data warehouse, we thought that anomaly detection would be more efficient and healthier. Analysis and results were evaluated on the data obtained in the wiseboard retail project of Gtech company.

El presente estudio rastrea la elaboración conceptual de la noción de Estado Policial en estudios regionales, particularmente en investigaciones de la última década, para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica publicada entre los años 2010 y 2019. Tras aplicar sobre dicha búsqueda los criterios de inclusión y exclusión definidos por las autoras, resultaron doce artículos que abordaron la noción ‘Estado Policial’. Al analizar los diferentes tópicos planteados en estos estudios, fue posible reconocer una serie de elementos y procesos comunes caracterizados bajo la noción de Estado Policial en distintos países de la región. En consecuencia, la expansión de estas (re)configuraciones estatales es presentada como una problemática social y política relevante en los últimos años, que debe ser revisitada y profundizada en la actualidad a partir de los aportes de las ciencias sociales. Finalmente, a partir de la lectura crítica de los antecedentes revisados, ofrecemos algunas reflexiones coyunturales a la luz del contexto actual.

Most dental procedures require the use of local anesthetics. The Morpheus™ anesthetic computerized injector (Morpheus™ injector) provides painless needle insertion and satisfactory anesthesia with lower volumes of local anesthetic. The use of the intraseptal Alveolar Crest Spongy Bone Area (ACSBA) anesthesia technique with the Morpheus™ injector is an alternative to painless treatment. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the anesthetic properties of the ACSBA technique using two different anesthetics, lidocaine and articaine. This randomized, split-mouth, triple-blind clinical trial included 31 volunteers who required restorative treatment of the lower first molars. In two sessions, 2% lidocaine with 1:100000 epinephrine and 4% articaine with 1:100000 epinephrine solutions were administered using the ACSBA technique. Patient physical parameters, pain perception, and degree of anxiety as well as anesthetic properties were evaluated. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups or time points for systolic (p = 0.928) and diastolic (p = 0.450) blood pressure or heart rate (p = 0.624). Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences between the treatments for needle insertion (p = 0.741) or anesthetic deposition (p = 0.810). Both of the anesthetic protocols had a 9.7% failure rate. The Mann-Whitney test showed no statistically significant differences between the groups in anesthesia latency (p = 0.758) or duration (p = 0.791). Articaine and lidocaine were safe drugs, and there was no change in their influence on the evaluated physical parameters. Articaine was similar to lidocaine for anesthesia duration with means of 70.7 and 61.1 min, respectively. The intraseptal ACSBA anesthesia technique was effective, provided sufficient anesthesia duration to perform medium-term dental procedures with articaine and lidocaine, and produced painless anesthesia that provided greater patient comfort.

A field experiment was conducted during 2011-12 to study the performance of different levels of fertigation and soil fertilization on growth, yield, fruit quality and leaf nutrients content of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with five fertigation treatments, viz. (T1) recommended dose of NPK through soil, (T2) recommended dose of NPK through drip, (T3) ¾ of recommended dose of NPK through drip, (T4) ½ of recommended dose of NPK through drip and (T5) 1/3 of recommended dose of NPK through drip and each treatment was replicated five times. The healthy runners of cv. Chandler were planted at a spacing of 25 cm × 50 cm in well prepared beds of 2 m × 2 m size in the last week of September 2011 and 2012 as the crop was taken as annual crop. The results revealed that fertigation with recommended dose of NPK gave significantly higher plant height (24.23 cm), leaf area (129.20 cm2), fruit yield (35.64 tonnes/ha) as compared to fertigation with ½ and 1/3 of recommended dose of NPK and soil fertilization, but was found at par with ¾ recommended dose of NPK fertigation treatment. The maximum fruit length (42.49 mm), fruit breadth (31.74 mm) and fruit weight (19.87 g) was also recorded in fertigation with full recommended dose of NPK. The values of TSS (9.88oB), total sugar (9.44%), anthocyanin (0.249 OD) and ascorbic acid (53.39 mg/100g) was significantly higher in fertigation with recommended dose of NPK treatment as compared to lower levels of fertigation and soil fertilization. The plants fertigated with full and ¾ recommended dose of NPK also had higher leaf nutrients content. Fertigation with ¾ of recommended dose of NPK registered 60 per cent higher fertilizer use efficiency over soil fertilization with full recommended dose of NPK and also resulted in 25 per cent saving of fertilizers without any adverse effect on growth, yield and fruit quality.

The experimental material consisting of 24 F4 segregating populations obtained by crossing of 32 parents of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were grown in randomized block design with four replications during rabi 2013–14 at JNKVV, Instructional farm, College of Agriculture, Rewa (MP). Thirty randomly competitive plants were selected to record the observation on days to 50% heading, days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers/plant, spike length, grains/ spike, 1 000 grain weight, biological yield/plant, harvest index and grain yield/plant. Significant differences were found for all the traits. The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were high for grain yield/plant and tillers/plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was registered for grains /spike, biological yield/plant, 1 000 grain weight and grain yield/plant indicated predominance of additive gene action. Significant and positive association exhibited by grain yield/plant with spike length, grains/spike, biological yield/plant and 1 000 grain weight. Based on linear combination of traits, sequential and simultaneous selection indices revealed that out of 24 genotypes, 14 genotypes were sorted for higher yield and its components. Crosses, viz. K 792 × BH 674, JB 284 × PL 751, JB 1 × NDB 1276, K 792 × NDB 1276, RD 2668 × K 792, RD 2581 × JB 1 and RD 2503 × JB 58 were identified as superior genotypes having high genetic potential for grain yield.

The study was conducted at Central Potato Research Station, Shillong during 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the performance of three potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties, viz. Kufri Megha, Kufri Himalini and Kufri Himsona in an aeroponics system installed under net cum polyhouse. All the varieties exhibited more than 90% survival with root initiation within 4-5 days of transplanting. Kufri Megha started tuber initiation within a month in both the years. Tuber initiation was late in Kufri Himalini in 2014 (60 days) as compared to 2013 (39 days). Kufri Himsona exhibited delayed tuber initiation at 69 to 75 days after transplanting in both the years. The first picking was done within 40 and 80 days after transplanting in Kufri Megha and Kufri Himsona, respectively, in both the years. First picking in Kufri Himalini was delayed by 15days in 2014 as compared to 50 days after transplanting in 2013 due to delayed tuber initiation. The crop duration of Kufri Megha was 110 and 134 days in 2013 and 2014, respectively, allowing for 8 to 9 pickings that yielded 108 to 118 gÂ  ubers/plant (38 to 42 tubers/plant) with mean mini-tuber weight of 2.91 to 2.96 g. The number of pickings reduced significantly from 11 to 5 in Kufri Himalini and 7 to 4 in Kufri Himsona from 2013 to 2014. In Kufri Himalini, delay in tuber initiation and reduction in crop duration was observed in 2014. There was a significant reduction in per plant yield in both Kufri Himalini (162 g to 102 g) and Kufri Himsona (138 g to 39.25 g) accompanied by reduction in number of tubers/plant (38 to 27 tubers in Kufri Himalini and 29 to 11 tubers in Kufri Himsona). The mean mini-tuber weight also reduced from 4.32g to 3.87g in Kufri Himalini and 5.03g to 4.13g in Kufri Himsona.

The present investigation was planned to know the feasibility of trailing method of growing vis-a-vis traditional method and their effects on growth, flowering, fruit set, seed yield and quality traits in bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl]. The results revealed that trailing method had significantly higher vine length (4.56 m), number of leaves/vine (40.48), leaf area (42 807 cm2) and number of nodes/vine (40.48) at 55 DAS. The reduction in number of days to anthesis to first male flower (49.8 days) and female flower (54.6 days) in trailing as compared to traditional method. The fruit development attributes, viz. number of fruit set (4.08), matured fruits/vine (3.55), fruit weight (2.30 kg) were recorded significantly higher in trailing but significantly less fruit width (9.56 cm), fruit cavity (7.21 cm) and cavity volume (1996.2 cm3) were recorded in trailing method. Seed yield attributes, i.e. the number of total seeds/fruit (723.01), number of filled seeds/fruit (651.88), seed yield/fruit (98.33 g), seed yield/vine (346.16 g) and seed yield/acre (410.13 kg) was significantly higher in trailing method. The significant increase in germination (97.54%) was recorded in trailing system as compared to traditional system (95.21%). Similarly, seedling length (42.66 cm), seedling dry weight (6.56 mg) and embryo weight (7.49 mg) were significantly higher in trailing. Vigour index I (4161.07) and VI II (63.92) were also significantly superior in trailing. The presence of fungi was lower in trailing than traditional among the infected fruits.

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season of 2013 at the research farm of the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to evaluate the performance of sequential application of herbicides for weed management in greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The weed control treatments (12) were: pendimethalin @ 1 kg/ha pre-emergence (PE), pendimethalin @ 1 kg/ha PE + 1 HW at 30 days after sowing (DAS), pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha PE + imazethapyr @ 50g/ha post-emergence (POE) at 30 DAS, pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha PE + imazethapyr @ 75g/ha POE at 30 DAS, imazethapyr @ 50 g/ha POE at 20 DAS, imazethapyr @ 75 g/ha POE at 20 DAS, pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha PE + quizalofop @ 50g/ha POE at 30 DAS, pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha PE + quizalofop @ 75g/ha POE at 30 DAS, quizalofop @ 50 g/ha POE at 20 DAS, quizalofop @ 75 g/ha POE at 20 DAS, weed free and weedy check. Sequential application of herbicides was more effective than their one time application either PE or POE in suppressing weed growth in terms of density and dry weight. Pendimethalin @ 1 kg/ha PE + 1 HW at 30 DAS resulted in highest seed yield (1.10 t/ha), weed control efficiency (75.21%), lowest weed dry weight (6.02 g/m2), weed density (7.06 no/m2) and weed index (8.33%). However, this treatment did not differ significantly from pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha PE + imazethapyr @ 75g/ha POE at 30 DAS. Therefore, sequential application of herbicides can be an effective alternative to manage weeds in greengram.
