A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Mewar University, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during rabi season, 2024-25 on loamy sand soil, which consisted nine treatments viz., weedy check-T₁, Weed free-T_2, one hand weeding 25 DAS-T_3, Oxyfluorfen 100 g a.i./ha Pre emergence-T_4, Oxyfluorfen 100 g a.i./ha Pre emergence+one hand weeding 25 DAS T-_5, Imazethapyr 50 g a.i./ha Post emergence (25 DAS) T-_6, Imazethapyr 50 g a.i./ha 25 DAS + one hand weeding 50 DAS T-_7, Oxyfluorfen 100 g a.i./ha Pre emergence + Imazethapyr 50 g a.i./ha 25 DAS T-₈ and Oxyfluorfen 100 g a.i./ha Pre emergence + Imazethapyr 50 g a.i./ha 25 DAS + one hand weeding 50 DAS T-₉ in randomized block design (RBD). The chickpea var. RSG-888 was used for experiment. Results clearly showed that application of weed free (T₂) significantly increased plant height, number of branches plant^-1, number of pods plant^-1 and seed yield of chickpea as compare to rest of the treatments and statistically being at par with Oxyfluorfen 100 g a.i./ha Pre emergence + Imazethapyr 50 g a.i./ha 25 DAS + one hand Weeding 50 DAS (T₉) whereas lowest value recorded under control.
