Abstract: The present investigations entitled “Effect of integrated weed management on growth and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” was conducted in the crop research farm of Agronomy department of CPU Kota, during ‘Rabi’ seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21. The experiment was design in a Randomized Block Design with fourteen treatments with three replications including control. Thetreatmentswereallocatedrandomlyinalltheplotswiththreereplications with crop spacing 22.5 × 5 cm.The major weeds that were present in wheat were Parthenium hysterophorusL., Phalaris minor L., Chenopodium album L., ViciahirsutaL., Cynodondectylon (L.) Pers and CyoperusrotundusL.In general, it was observed in the two years field trial that the emergence pattern of the major weeds in wheat in the experimental field were almost similar and did not differ much in both the years. On the basis of the current investigation, it can be said that in a wheat tank, a pre-emergence application of Metribuzine at 0.3 a.i. kg/ha and a post-emergence application of metsulfuron methyl at 0.3 a.i. kg/ha produced the lowest weed population, the highest yield, and the most favourable yield attributes, as well as the highest net return and benefit-cost ratio.
