A field experiment was conducted to find out the most effective control measure for weeds in sesame (Sesamum indicun L.) under rainfed condition. Result showed that two hand weeding (weed free) recorded lowest weed population and dry weight which was significantly superior over rest of the treatments. Application of quizalofop-ethy l0.05 kg/ha + 1 HW proved most effective and also recorded lower population and dry weight of weeds followed by trifluralin 0.75 kg/ha + 1 HW and  pendimethalin  0.75 kg/ha + 1 HW. Weed control efficiency and seed yield was higher under quizalofop-ethyl 0.05 kg/ha + 1 hand weeding as compared to other weed control treatments.
