Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on weed management through herbicides in urdbean during kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Main Agricultural research station, UAS, Dharwad. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments included were; T1 Un weeded control, T2 HW at 20 & 40 DAS, T3 to T11 were different pre and post emergent herbicides applied independently and in combination and T11 was weed free check. Pooled data of two years indicated that weed free check was on par with hand weeding twice and pre-emergent herbicides pendimethalin @ 1 kg/ha and Alachlor 50 EC @2 kg/ha and post emergent herbicides Fenoxaprop p ethyl @ 50 g/ ha, and Imazethapyr @ 40 g a.i./ha.
