Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of seeding methods and weed management practices on direct seeded rice. Study revealed that drum seeding + green manure method of seeding establishment and pre-emergence application of pretilachlor + safener at the rate of 0.45 kg/ha at 5 days after sowing (DAS) + hand weeding (HW) at 45 DAS registered improved crop growth parameters, yield attributes and grain yield of crop with lower weed count and weed dry matter.
