A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2019 at Agricultural Research Station, Ummedganj, Kota. Dominating weed flora of the experimental field consisted of Cynodon dactylon L., Eleusine indica L., Echinochloacrusgalliand Echinochloa colona among grassy weeds, Boerhaavia diffusa L., Convolvulus arvensis L., Commelina benghalensis L., Digera arvensis Forsk., Celosia argentea L. among broad leaved weedsand Cyperus rotundus L. in the sedge category of weeds. The results showed that all weed control treatments recorded significantly higher values of growth parameters plant height, branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation and yield attributes viz. pods plant-1, seeds pod-1, seed yield plant-1 and seed index as compared to weedy check. Two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS recorded significantly lower weed density, weed dry weight, maximum weed control efficiency and significantly improved the growth characters, yield and yield attributing characters followed by post emergence application of sodium acifluorfen 16.5% + clodinafop propargyl 8% (premix) @ 165 + 80 g a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS.
