Field experiments were conducted during 1983 to 1985 to find out effective and economical weed control method for urd bean. Weed free treatment recorded the highest grain yield (11.78 q/ha) and was found economically useful. Among the weed control methods two hand weeding and fluchloralin 1 kg/ha per-plant incorporation in soil recorded higher yield and were at par. The effect of pre-emergence spray of oxadiazon 0.75 kg/ha was found as good as one hand weeding or one intercultivation 15 days after sowing. Comparalive economics showed that hand weeding twice and fluchloralin (1.0 kg/ha) gave higher return of Rs. 3415 and 3416/ha, respectively.
