The research work was conducted to find out the performance of maize under different weed management. The treatments were weeding with khurpa, hand hoe, wheat mulch, oat mulch, Primixtra 500 FW at a rate of 1.5 liters per acre, Stomp 330 EC at a rate of 1 liter per acre and weedy check. Maximum emergence m-2 (17.50) was for oat mulch, which was at par with wheat mulch (16.75). Minimum weeds density m-2 (3.75), maximum cob length (17.77 cm), number of grains cob-1 (380) 1000-grains weight (294 g) and grain yield (3943) were recorded for Primixtra 500 FW. The weed species infesting the field were Cyprus rotundas, Sorghum halepense, Cynodon Dactylon, Leptochloa sp., Echinochloa crussgalli, Tribulus terrestris, Convolvulus arvensis and Portulaca oleracea etc.
