Abstract: The present investigation, titled "Effect of weed management practices on yield and yield attribution of urdbean," was conducted at the Research- Cum-Instructional Farm, Rampur Selaqui, Dehradun (U.K.) during the 2013 Kharif growing season. Three separate replications were employed in the randomized block design of the experiment. Eleven weed management strategies made up the treatment. The current study's findings showed that weed-free treatments produced the smallest levels of total weed density, total dry weight, maximum LAI, CGR, RGR, yield attributes, seed yield, Stover yield and harvest index (%), weed index (%), and WCE. These treatments were followed by hand weeding two times at 20 and 40 DAS and imazethapyr @ 40 g ha^-1 PoE, and the lowest levels were produced under weedy control. In the experimental field, Parthenium hysterophorus, Digera arvensis, Celosia argentia, Cynotis axillaris, Alternanthra sessalis and Echinochloa colona were the leading weeds & found during the crop growth period.
