Intercropping, hand weeding and herbicides were found effective in reducing the weed density and weed biomass and in enhancing grain and stover yield of pearl millet over weedy check but application of herbicides followed by one hand weeding was foundmuch more effective. Oxyfluorfen fb hand weeding at 25 DAS recorded 92.3 and 95% less population and dry matter of Trianthema portulacastrum and 86.1 and 91°;;) less population and dry matter, respectively, of all other weeds, and thus gave 24.96%) more pearl millet yield and highest net return.
