Abstract: A field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2015-16 to evaluate of some post-emergence herbicides and their mixtures for weed control in wheat on calcareous clayey soil having medium status of available N, P and K at Junagadh. The results revealed that pendimethalin 900 g ha-1 as pre-emergence fb either pre-mix sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron 30 + 2 g ha-1 or clodinafop + metsulfuron 60 + 4 g ha-1as post-emergence at 30 DAS enhanced growth parameters viz., plant height, dry matter/ plant and number of total tillers m-1 row length, yield attributes viz., number of effective tillers m-1 row length, length of spike, number of spikelets spike-1, number of grains spike-1, grain weight spike-1, 1000-grain weight, 1000-grain volume and ultimately gave higher grain and straw yield.
