A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2015–16 at Junagadh (Gujarat) to evaluate efficacy of a herbicides (halosulfuron-methyl, ethoxysulfuron, glyphosate) and their combinations (glyphosate + halosulfuron, glyphosate + ethoxysulfuron) in managing purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) under non-crop situation. Maximum purple nutsedge control (92.20%) at 30 days after spraying (DAS) and the lowest regeneration (5.76%) at 60 DAS was recorded with tank-mix glyphosate 1230 g/ha + halosulfuron-methyl 33.75 g/ha at 30 days after emergence (DAE), which was at par with halosulfuron-methyl 80 g/ha at 30 DAE (91.50% and 7.76%, respectively) and halosulfuron-methyl 67.5 g/ha at 30 DAE (89.53% 8.48%, respectively). Ethoxysulfuron 15 g/ha at 30 DAE resulted in significantly the lowest nutsedge control (12.84%) at 30 DAS and the highest regeneration (62.22%) at 60 DAS. The herbicides and their mixtures applied for control of nutsedge during summer season have non-significant effect on plant height and dry matter/plant of succeeding crops, viz. groundnut, pearlmillet, cotton and sesame
