Field studies conducted on integrated weed management in direct seeded upland rice at Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya. Palampur during kharif 1992 and 1993 revealed that oxyfluorfen 0.2S kg/ha (3 DAS) in integration with halod and 100 kg/ha seed rate was effective in controlling the weeds and increasing grain yield of paddy by 35.01% over the farmer practice of hand weeding twice in integration with halod and 100 kg/ha seed rate. However, it was statistically at par with oxyfluorfen 0.25 kg/ha integrated with halod and 150 kg/ha seed rate, butachlor 1.5 kg/ha (3 DAS) in integration with 100 kg/ha seed rate without halod and hand weeding twice in integration with 100 kg/ha without halod. Because of the higher prices of oxyfluorfen, higher net returns per rupee invested were obtained with butachlor 1.5 kg/ha in integration with 100 kg/ha seed rate without halod.
