Weeds constitute one of the most important problems faced in crop cultivation because of its negative effect on the quality and quantity (Mehra et al. 1995). The competition between crop and weed is one of the important limiting factors in successful raising of plants of com-mercial value. Use of herbicides is one of the methods currently used to control weeds. The application of these herbicides at early stages of crop growth checks the competition between weeds and the crop during initial stages while weeds emerging later cause weak competition and do not cause any damage to crop plants.
