Weed control studies were conducted in mungbean from 1977 to 1979 on loamy sand soil to compare the efficiency of different herbicides and hand hoeing treatments. Unchecked weeds reduced grain yield by 48. 3%. Application of alachlor 2.50 kg/ha and nitrofen 1.25 kg/ha at preemergence and incorporation of fiuchloralin 0.72 kg/ha at preplanting gave good control of weeds and produced grain yield equivalent to one hand weeding. of all the treatments, fiuch-loralin 0.72 kg/ha was found to be more effective in controlling weeds.
