Transplanting 14 days old seedlings with pre emergence application of Pretilachlor at the rate of 0.75 kg ai/ha and one mechanical weeding at 30 DAT and humic acid application as seedling dip (0.3%) and foliar spray twice significantly reduced weed growth and improved growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of rice.
