A Field experiment was carried out at wetlands farm of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during rabi 2014 to evaluate the effect of organic rice to weed management practices on yield parameters and microbial population grown under lowland condition. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication and ten treatments. Microbial counts were recorded in the soil samples taken at 30, 60 and 90 DAT. The study revealed that the higher yield parameter and soil microbial population viz., bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes recorded under mulching using biodegradable polyethelene sheets which was statistically at par with application of rice bran at 2 t ha-1 on 3 DAT fb hand weeding on 35 DAT and the lowest was observed in unweeded check.
