A Field experiment was conducted during Navarai season of 2015 at Experimental Farm Department of Agronomy, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar to find out the influence of post emergence herbicides on weed management in direct sown rice (Oryza saliva L.) under puddled conditions. The results indicated that application of flucetosulfuron 10% WG @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 applied at 15 DAS recorded higher weed control index (WCI) and yield, lower in total weed count and weed dry matter production. This was on par with hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS. The least weed control index and yield were recorded with unweeded control.
