Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is an important oil seed crop. In India, it is cultivated in 9.60 million ha with the annual production of 12.74 million tonnes. Madhya Pradesh contributes nearly 5.56 mha area with the production of 6.68 mt (Anonymous 2012). The soil and climate of Madhya Pradesh are congenial for soybean production but being a rainy season crop it suffers severely due to weed infestation, resulting reduction in yield to the tune of 20 to 71% depending upon the type and intensity of weeds and their occurrence. Unavailability of labour and high wages during season are the main limitations of manual weeding. Under such situations, farmers may use different pre-and post-emergence herbicides to control annual grass and broad-leaved weeds effectively in soybean. Therefore, the experiment was aimed to find out the efficacy of herbicides on weeds and yield of soybean.
