Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during rabi seasons of 2016-17 to find out the best chemical weed management practices in fodder maize (Zea mays L.). Eleven treatments were tested in randomized block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of pre-emergence (PE) and post-emergence (PoE) herbicides applications along with weed free (HW at 20 and 40 DAS) and weedy check. Experimental results indicated that treatment weed free (HW at 20 and 40 DAS) has recorded highest weed control efficiency (76.5%) followed by PoE of tank mix formulation of Atrazine 0.5 kg/ha + Topramezone 0.025 kg/ha at 20 DAS (73.9%). Green and dry fodder yield was significantly higher (785 q/ha and 269 q/ha, respectively) with weed free (HW at 20 and 40 DAS) and it was closely followed by application Atrazine 0.5 kg/ha + Topramezone 0.025 kg/ha tank mix at 20 DAS (748 q/ha and 249 q/ha respectively).
