Abstract: An experiment was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Auraiya, during winter (Rabi) season of 2019-20 and 2020-21 to study the response of On Farm Trial on Performance of weedicides for higher production of chickpea namely T1 Farmers Practice (hand weeding after 35 days of sowing) T2- pendimethalin stamp extra 750 gram, 38.7 ai /ha + Clodinafop 400 gm/ha T3 - Targa super 400ml /ha T 2 performed higher yield 2.24 t/ha as compared with T1 and T3 at various 5 Trail of crop growth during the years. The growth of the crop is very less. The growth of weeds becomes much more than that of the crop. Due to lack of control, the farmer's cost increases significantly. Due to low growth of gram crop, there is huge loss to the crop. For this, five farmers were selected in Ata and Muri villages of Auraiya who were already cultivating gram. Earlier the cost of gram was very high. Farmers used to remove weeds by hand to control weeds. Once weeds are removed by hand, the gram crop becomes weed again. For this, farmers remove weeds in the gram field at least twice. So that its cost is reduced.
