Pre-emergence application of metolachlot+hand weeding or pendimethalin+hand weeding was effective in reducing the density and dry weight of weeds. Two hand weedings were less effective in controlling weeds. Simultaneous sowing of groundnut+sunflower (4: 1) recorded lower density and dry matter of weeds than sole crop of groundnut and sunflower. Pod equivalent yield was higher with staggered sowing of sunflower two weeks after sowing of groundnut in 4: 1 ratio.
