Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2007,2008 and 2009 to find out the relative efficiency of weed management practices in Okra (Hibicus esculentus L.). The result indicated that the highest weed control efficiency was achieved with the treatments fluchloralin 1.0 kg/ha preplant application + 1 HW followed by alachlor 2.0 kg/ha pre-emergence. application + 1HW. The data on yield attributing charaters viz, number of pods/ plant and plant height were significantly influenced by various weed management treatments. The highest fresh pod yield was recorded with the application of fluchloralin 1.0 kg/ha preplant application supplemented with 1HW. Significantly lowest fresh pod yield of okra was recorded in weedy check plots.
