Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 1993 94 to 1995 96 at Pulse Research Station, R.A.K. College of Agriculture, Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, to study the effect of weed management practices on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under late sown condition. Two hand weedings at 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS) (weed free) completely controlled the weeds. Significantly lowest weed dry matter and highest weed control effi ciency were observed when 1 hand weeding was done at 45 DAS. This treatment was followed by integration of 1 hand weeding at 45 DAS with pre emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75 kg/ha in reducing weed dry matter and in increasing the weed control efficiency. Significantly higher grain yield (1,723 kg/ha) was recorded in weed free plots. Among the.weed control treatments, pendimethalin 0.75 kg/ha coupled with 1 hand weeding at 45 DAS recorded higher.grain yield (1576 kg/ha).
