Hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 days after transplanting (DAT) gave best results in reducing both weed density and biomass and ultimately increased the grain (4.53 t/ha) and straw yield (5.80 t/ha). Next highest grain (4.20 t/ha) and straw yield (5.57 t/ha) was obtained with bensulfuron-methyl + pretilachlor (granules) 10 kg/ha as pre-emergence + one hand weeding at 40 DAT treatment followed by combined herbicidal treatment bensulfuron-methyl + pretilachlor (granules) 10 kg/ha as PE + bispyribac-sodium 25 g/ha as post emergent gave grain yield 4.17 t/ha and straw yield 5.53 t/ha. Considering the benefit: cost ratio, the highest value (1.92) was obtained with the performance of bensulfuron-methyl + pretilachlor as PE + metsulfuron-methyl + chlorimuron-ethyl as POE.
