The treatments consisted of ten combination of different agro input management practices viz., T₁ (control weedy check),T₂ (weed free),T₃ (Pendimethalin @ 1.75 kg/ha (pre-emergence)),T₄ (Oxyfluorfen @ 1 kg/ha (pre-emergence)), T₅ (Quizalofop-ethyl @1 kg/ha (Post-emergence)), T₆ (Pendimethalin @ 1.750 kg/ha (Pre emergence) + Quizalofop-ethyl @ 1 kg/ha (Post-emergence)), T₇ (Oxyfluorfen @ 1 kg/ha (Pre-emergence) + Quizalofop-ethyl @ 1 kg/ha (Post-emergence)), T₈ (Two hand weeding at 25 and 45 DAT), T₉ (Black polythene mulch), T₁₀ (Organic mulch with paddy straw @ 20 q/ha).The significantly maximum Maximum gross returns (₹ 4,55,050.00/ha), net income (₹ 3,80,228.81/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (5.08) was recorded in weed free treatment. Among herbicidal treatments maximum gross returns (4,15,170.00/ha) and net income (3,55,064.81/ha) and benefit:cost ratio (5.90) was observed with the application of T₇ (Oxyfluorfen @ 1 kg/ha (Pre emergence) + quizalofop ethyl @ 1 kg/ha (Post- emergence)) applied at 30 (DAT).
