A field experiment entitled “Evaluation of pre and post- emergence herbicides in gram (Cicer arietinum L.)” was conducted during rabi season of 2011-12 at Instructional Farm Department of Agronomy College of Agriculture Junagadh Agricultural University Junagadh. The experiment comprising 10 weed management treatments viz. T1 (Oxyfluorfen 180 g ha-1 pre-emergence + 1 HW & IC at 30 DAS) T2 (Oxadiargyl 90 g ha-1 pre-emergence + Oxadiargyl 90 g ha-1 post- emergence at 45 DAS) T3 (Oxadiargyl 90 g ha-1 pre-emergence + Quizalofop- ethyl 40 g ha-1 post-emergence at 45 DAS) T4 (Oxadiargyl 90 g ha-1 pre-emergence + Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 75 g ha-1 post- emergence at 45 DAS) T5 (Oxyfluorfen 120 g ha-1 pre-emergence + Oxadiargyl 90 g ha-1 post-emergence at 45 DAS) T6 (Oxyfluorfen 120 g ha-1 pre-emergence + Quizalofop- ethyl 40 g ha-1 post- emergence at 45 DAS) T7 (Oxyfluorfen 120 g ha-1 pre-emergence + Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 75 g ha1 post-emergence at 45 DAS) T8 (2 HW & IC at 30 and 45 DAS) T9 (weed free) and treatment T10 (unweeded check). These treatments were replicated thrice in randomized block design.
