Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of three different spacing, four seed rates and weed control at Cereal Cops Research Institute, controlling weeds in wheat crop Pirsabak, Nowshera during 2004-2005 in order to develop a viable and economically feasible weed management strategy for wheat growers in NWFP. The design of the experiments was split-split plot having weed control in main plots, seed rates in sub plots and spacing in sub sub-plots. The fertilizers were applied at the rates of 120-90-60 NPK kg ha-1. It was concluded that chemical weed control was found more effective and economical as compared to spacing and seeding rates for controlling weeds in wheat. The integration of chemicals with row spacing and seed rate could result in the effective management of weeds and increasing grain yield. Further studies are recommended to confirm our findings.
