Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Derol, Dist. Panchmahal, Gujarat during Kharif, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 to study the impact of herbicides on yield attributes and yield of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) and their residual effects on succeeding crops. Eight treatments for weed management were studied in randomized block design with four replicatioins. Among the different weed management practices, post-emergence (20 - 25 DAS) application of propaquizalafop 10% EC 75 g a.i./ha fb IC + HW at 30 DAS proved their superiority followed by quizalofop-ethyl 5% EC 50 g a.i./ha fb IC + HW at 30 DAS or fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 9% EC 67.5 g a.i./ha fb IC + HW at 30 DAS with respect to recording maximum number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, seed yield, haulm yield, net return and BCR of blackgram. There was no any residual effect of applied herbicides on succeeding crops viz., maize, gram and wheat was observed during the course of investigation.
