SensulfuTOn-methyl at 30 to 60 g ha" applied alone or as tank mixture with butachlor at 1.0 kg ha" reduced the density of all the sedges as well as Caesu/ia axillaris and Comme/ina benghalensis. At higher doses of bensulfuion methyl (50 and 60 g ha"), there was almost complete control of sedges and non-grassy weeds. The differences in grain yields due to various doses of bensulfuron-methyl were non-significant and yields were at par with weedfree treatment. Bensulfuron-methyl was compatible with butachlor with report to control of various weeds.
