An experiment was conducted during Summer season of the year 200910 at Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University to assess the response of rice to establishment techniques and weed control methods. Results revealed that transplanting 15–20 days old seedlings with spacing of 25 x 25 cm, 2 plant hill−1 + 100: 25:00 kg NPK, 25 kg ZnSO4 ha−1, 25% N from FYM recorded lowest number of weeds. Pyrazosulfuron and use of rotary weeder decreased weed intensity. However the hand weedings were efficient.
