In a field study, the bio-efficacy and crop selectivity of six promising herbicides Alachlor, Metribuzin, Oxadiazon, Pendimethalin, Fluazifop-butyl, and Acifluorfen were evaluated in lentil sown after rice under zero tillage. Metribuzin, Oxadiazon, and Pendimethalin controlled most weeds and significantly reduced their number and dry matter. However, Oxadiazon and Pendimethalin were found phytotoxic to lentil. The grain yield obtained under Metribuzin compared well with that obtained with repeated weedings
