The field experiment was carried out during three consecutive kharif seasons of 2014, 2015 and 2016 at Pulses research station, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, to study the effect of different weed management practice on growth and yield of mungbean. Significantly the higher seed yield of 694, 1388 and 886 kg/ha was recorded with treatment T8 (Two mannual weeding at 20 and 35-40 DAS) during the year 2015, 2016 and in pooled results, respectively. However T8 remains at par with treatments T7, T3 and T6 in pooled analysis. Maximum net returns of Rs. 32750 per hectare and B: C ratio of 1.94 was incurred in treatment T8 (Two mannual weeding at 20 and 35-40 DAS) followed by T2 and T7 with B: C ratio of 1.69 and 1.68 per hectare, respectively.
