The experiment was laid out ina randomized block design with three replications. The variety used for this experiment was “Jammu Spinach beet-07”. The results revealed that weed weed-free treatment recorded the highest plant height, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area index, and yield(232.77 q/ha), and the weedy check recordedthe minimum yield (113.66 q/ha). Whereas among herbicidal treatments, the Pendimethalin @ 750 g/ha (Pre-emergence) with one hand weeding (40 DAS) outperformed the other treatments.
