Abstract

The cultivation of pulses in India is carried out across 23 million hectares, which encompasses a wide range of agroecological conditions, cropping techniques, and management practices. They are planted throughout both the Kharif and Rabi seasons. The average productivity of pulse crops in India is somewhat lower than the productivity levels reported in several other pulse-growing countries globally. The problem of weed infestation is a substantial hindrance to attaining the highest possible crop output. This chapter discusses the critical period of crop-weed competition in different pulse crops. The list of predominant weed species systematically classified based on their seasonal occurrences, along with corresponding herbicides recommended for their control, is also included.

Keywords: Management, Pulses, Weeds.
