Present investigation entitled Effect of herbicides on yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). was carried out at at Agriculture Research Station, Badnapur. Situated at 409 m above mean sea level at 19°50 latitude and 47°53” longitudes with an altitude of 520 meters. The soil was clayey in texture, low in phosphorus moderate in available nitrogen and high in potassium.
Experimental results revealed that yield attributes viz., no. of pod plant-1, pod yield plant-1, seed yield plant-1, seed index, seed yield ha-1, straw yield ha-1 was significantly influenced due to various weed management treatments. Weed free treatment and application of Pendimethalin 38.7% CS (1 kg/ha) + one hoeing at 30-35 DAS recorded significantly superior seed yield, Whereas, weed check recorded lowest yield attributes as well as seed and straw yield.
