Abstract
Pre-emergence application of broad spectrum herbicide oxadiargyl 0.09 kg/ha in mustard recorded the highest net returns and B-C ratio with greater seed yield comparable to one hand weeding. It was found that oxadiargyl 0.09 kg/ha is the alternative option of costly hand weeding practice in gaining higher yield in mustard. Among the N treatments, application of 75 kg N/ha recorded the maximum net returns (Rs. 61333/ha) and B-C ratio (2.75) with higher seed yield.
