Field investigation was carried out for two consecutive years (2001 and 2002) to develop an eco-friendly integrated weed management technology for blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) grown under rainfed eco-system of Central Uttar Pradesh. Results revealed that low dose of pendimethalin (0.5 kg ha−1) followed by one hand weeding done at 60 days after sowing demonstrated intended weed control (67.80% WCE), enhanced higher grain yield (379 kg ha−1 or 119.49%) and fetched net monetary return (Rs.3611 ha−1) due to weed control.
