A field experiment was conducted at Sehore (Madhya Pradesh) to evaluate the effect of various cultural and herbicidal weed control methods on the extent of weed control, growth and yield of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. Two hand weedings (HW) at 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS), in situ mulching with weeds at 30 DAS, pendimethalin or clomazone applied as pre emergence both at 1.0 kg/ha supplemented with 1 HW reduced the weed density and weed bio mass siginificantly at 50 DAS. These treatments also improved yield attributes and seed yield of soybean
