A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at Instructional Cum Research Farm of IGKV, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) to assess the effect of various post-emergence herbicides in chickpea. The results indicated that among different herbicides, as a consequence of effective weed control, topramezone 20.6 g a.i./ha at 14 DAS recorded significantly highest seed yield and stover yield which was significantly superior over all the other treatments but harvest index was recorded highest in topramezone 20.6 g a.i./ha at 21 DAS. In unweeded control, uncontrolled weed growth caused reduction in seed yield of chickpea. Net returns and B:C ratio was found maximum with topramezone 20.6 g a.i./ha at 14 DAS which was significantly superior over other treatments.
