Abstract: Field experiments were conducted during 2013 and 2014, at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai to study the effect of integrated weed management in rainfed cotton. The weed management practices consisted of pendimethalin (1.0 kg.ha -1 ) and (Calotropisgigantea leaf extract spray at three concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30%) in combination with power weeder operation twice and manual weeding twice. From the results of the experiments, it could be recommended that the integrated weed management practices like, application of PE pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha -1 + power weeding on 40 DAS (T 11 ) recorded higher seed cotton yield and economic return.
