Abstract: Field experiments were conducted during the wet seasons of 2002, to 2004 at Modipuram to find out the most effective weed control method in direct-swon rice. Results indicated that stale seedbed produced higher rice yield (3.58 t ha−1) as compared to traditional seedbed (3.27 t ha−1). Among weed control treatments, herbicide (Pendimethaline at 1.2 kg a.i. ha−1) + one hand weeding (5.14 t ha−1) and criss- cross sowing + herbicide + one hand weeding (5.52 t ha−1) produced comparable yield but significantly superior to hand weeding under taken twice. The highest net return (Rs 15556 ha−1) was recorded under criss- cross sowing + herbicide+ one hand weeding.
