The experiment comprising 12 weed management practices with different herbicidal doses and hand weeding was conducted on light textured soil of S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, during kharif season of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Digitaria sangunalis, Eleusine indica, Setaria gluaca, Cyperus rotundus and Echinochloa colona among monocot and Celosia argentea, Commelina benghalensis, Spilanthus ecmela and Euphorbia geniculata among broad leaf weeds were dominant. Irrespective of weed management practices, density and dry weight of weeds and weed control efficiency were higher in pre-emergence application of oxyfluorfen 0.50 kg/ha + one hand weeding at 20 DAS (60.18) over weedy check. The control was highest under oxyfluorfen 0.50 kg/ha + two hand weeding at 30 and 45 DAS, followed by oxyfluorfen 0.25 kg/ha + two hand weeding at 30 and 45 DAS.
