The present investigation conducted out at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist.Ratnagiri (M.S.) during kharif 2017. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design. There were ten treatments replicated thrice. The treatments comprised of oxyflourfen (PE) (T1), oxadiargyl (PE) (T2), oxyflourfen (PE) fb HW at 30 DAT (T3), oxadiargyl (PE) fb HW at 30 DAT (T4), oxyflourfen (PE) fb bispyribac sodium (POE) (T5), oxadiargyl (PE) fb bispyribac sodium(POE) (T6), oxyflourfen (PE) fb metasulfuron methyl + chlorimuron-ethyl (POE) (T7), oxadiargyl (PE) fb metasulfuron-methyl + chlorimuron-ethyl (POE) at 25 DAT (T8), Weed free check (T9), unweeded check (T10). The soil of experimental plot was sandy clay loam in texture, acidic in pH and medium in organic carbon content. It was low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and available potassium. The soil was levelled, well drained and uniform in depth. During the course of present investigation, periodical growth observations, yield contributing characters and yield were recorded to evaluate the treatment effects. Results revealed that among all the treatments, treatment weed free check and among weedicide treatments, treatment oxyflourfen (PE) @ 0.1 kg a.i. ha-1 fb HW at 30 DAT produced higher growth, yield attributes and yield as compared to rest of the treatments under study.
