Weeds are the main factors that have an adverse impact on mung bean growth, quality and yield in rainy seasons. As a short-duration crop, it faces intense competition from the early stages of growth to harvest. The critical period of crop weed competition in mung bean was the first 25-30 days, and if the weeds did not manage at this stage, they could reduce yields by 50-90%. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the best weed management strategies to achieve higher growth and yield. Progressive agricultural transformations in the field of intensive use of herbicides have gained status in recent years due to easy, affordable, timely and effective control of weeds. Consequently, taking into account the above information, the present study aims to evaluate the impact of different herbicide practices in mung beans to better manage herbs, increase productivity and maximize profitability.In the field laboratory study carried out during the Kharif season in 2023, different herbicides were used to control weeds in the mung bean. Nine treatments and three replications were tested using randomized block design. On field and in the laboratory, collected samples were determined for crop weed competition, yield attributes, yield. Among the treatment of weeds control, hand weeding at 20 and 35 DAS can achieve maximum weed control efficiency, number of pods per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod, yield of seeds, N,P,K uptake by crop at harvest followed by Oxyflurofen @ 150 g /ha (PE-2 DAS) + Hand weeding(35 DAS).
