The experiment will deal with the evaluation of standard herbicides/pesticides compared against the tests. The experiment will be conducted using Randomized Complete Block three replications.  Data on pest and growth and  yield of crops will be collected and the level of loss due to damage will be analyzed and the efficacy will be determined. The best pesticide/herbicide will be recommended for registration.
