Field study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of different herbicides against broadleaf weeds. Different herbicides significantly effected weeds density m-2, number of broadleaf weeds m-2, number of tillers m-2, number of spikelets spike-1, number of grains spike-1, 1000- grains weight (g), biological yield (kg ha-1) and grain yield (kg ha-1). For controlling weeds, logran extra proved to be the best, giving 17.25 weeds m-2 as compared to 80.25 in weedy check plots. Similarly, maximum grain yield (3929 kg ha-1) was recorded in logran extra treated plots followed by plots receiving stomp and alkanak with grain yield of 3155 and 3111 kg ha-1, respectively. Minimum yield (1870 kg ha-1) was recorded in weedy check plots.
