Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Research farm of School of Agriculture, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur (Rajasthan) during kharif 2023 on sandy loam soil, which consisted 10 treatments and replicated thrice in randomized block design. The variety “RMG-975” was used for experiment. Results clearly showed that treatment (T9) i.e. weed free plot significantly increased plant height (61.91 cm), dry matter accumulation (259.55 g plant-1), number of branches plant-1 (10.76), number of nodules plant-1 (35.02) at harvest, number of pods plant-1 (13.89), number of seeds pod-1 (7.49), seed (1308 kg/ha), straw (2307 kg/ha) and biological yield (3615 kg/ha) over weedy check and rest of the treatments. However, plant population and test weight of mungbean was remained non significant under different weed management practices.
