Most of the herbicidal treatments were as effective as weed free in reducing the density of Echinochloa colona, Digitaria sanguinalis, Panicum dichotomiflorum, Commelina benghalensis, Aeschynomene indica and total weed count. Herbicidal treatments significantly increased plant height, effective panicles, panicle length, grains/panicle. Grain yield was negatively associated with count of E. colona, D. sanguinalis, P. dichotomiflorum and total weed count and positively associated with effective tillers and grains/ panicle. Pendimethalin 1000 g/ha (0-2 DAS) fb bispyribac 25g/ha (20 DAS) fb manual weeding (45 DAS) behaving statistically alike with oxadiargyl fb bispyribac, pendimethalin fb bispyribac, bispyribac, pyrazosulfuron fb bispyribac  and weed free resulted in significantly higher grain yield of rice over other treatments. With every 1 weed/m2 increase in density, the grain yield of dry seeded rice was expected to fall by 15.1 kg/ha. Un-controlled growth of weeds reduced the grain yield of rice by 67.1%.},
