Although Green gram is the third important pulse crop, it only covers 3.77 million ha land and having a production of 1.52 million tons which is very low compared to other crops. The pulse is widely used as a protein source and fodder crop. The area covered and production is low due to different factors i.e. unavailability of nutrient rich soil, lack of quality seeds, unsuitable climatic factors, traditional cultivation practices, improper weed management, poor postharvest management etc. Among these factors, the improper weed management practices and weed infestation cause the maximum damage to the crop and its production which is the vital constraint reducing the crop potentiality in green gram. Integrated weed management is an important input to the pulse crop to increase its yield and production potentiality by checking the effects of weed infestation, weed competition.
