Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of weed control yield of sesame (Scsmwn indicwn L.) at Tikamgarh. during the rainy (Wucra season of 1991 and 1992 on a sandy-clay-loam soil. Vegetative growth was higher in Local vdriety, whereas yield attributes were higher in improved varieties (JT 7 and JLSC 8). Seed yield, hayest index, seed oil, oil yield, benefit : cost ratio and net return were significantly higher in improved varieties than those in Local one. Hand-weeding (thrice) gave the maximum growth, yield attributes;seed oil and net return, followed by fluchloralin (ppi) @ 2 liveslha 4 1 hand-weeding. Flu- chloralin applied as pre-plant incorporation proved more effective than fluchloralin applied as preemer- gence. Benefit : cost ratio and net return were the maximum when fluchloralin was applied as pre-plant in- corporation. Highest net return (Rs 6,13 Iha) was recordcd from JLSC 8 grown with fluchloralin (ppi), followed by JLSC 8 with hand-weeding. With JT 7 (88 days), fluchloralin (ppi) alone was found suffi- cient, but for JLSC 8 (76 days) fluchloralin 4 1 hand-weeding was essential to obtain similar net return, i.e. Rs 5,633ha to Rs 5,737ha.
