Abstract
The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of stomp-330E (Pendimethalin), Primextra-50WP (Atrazine + Metalachlor), Banvel-P (Dicamba + Mecoprop), Blades plus (Aare); Blades), Basta-2OSL (Glufosinate ammonium), Gramoxone-20.EC (Paraquat) and hand weeding on weeds in maize Field. Directed post-emergence application of Gramosone-20EC and Basta-20SL was more effective than pre and post-emergence application of Stomp-330E, Primextra-50WP, Banvel-P and Baladex plus in controlling weeds. However, none of the herbicides com-pletely controlled Cypenis roilindus and Cynodon dactylon. Higher grain yield of 5.2 t ha-1 was obtained by hand weeding closely followed by Gramoxone-20EC.
