Abstract: The present investigation was conducted during rabi 2014-15 at P. G. Research Farm, Agronomy Section, College of Agriculture, Dhule (Maharashtra) to study the Efficacy of post emergence herbicides (PoE) on growth, yield and quality of late sown wheat (Triticum aestivum). Among this Experiment consisted of 8 treatments laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatment included, weedy check, weed free check, clodinafop (60 g ha-1), sulfosulfuron (25 g ha-1) metasulfuron methyl (4 g ha-1), metribuzin (100 g ha-1), clodinafop + metasulfuron methyl (60 + 4 g ha-1) and sulfosulfuron + metasulfuron methyl (25 + 4 g ha-1) were used in this experiment. Significantly higher grain and straw yield The grain and straw yield (kg ha-1) of wheat was found to be significantly higher (4746.86 and 5966.86 kg ha-1, respectively) in treatment of weed free check (T2). The next best among the herbicides treatment was combine application of sulfosulfuron + metasulfuron methyl (25 + 4 g ha-1 (T8) (4304.46 and 5418.66 kg ha-1, respectively) recorded higher grain and straw yield as compared to rest of herbicide treatments for weed control. While treatment T8, was found at par with clodinafop + metasulfuron - methyl (60 + 4 g ha-1 (T7). protein content in wheat grain revealed that the differences among the various weed management treatments were found non-significant. Protein content in grain varied between 11.00 to 12.13 per cent in different treatments. Among the herbicide treatments tried in the experiment, application of tank mix herbicides treatments were found significantly better than their solo application in respect of grain and straw yield of wheat. The grain and straw yield of wheat was significantly the lowest under weedy check treatment (T1).
