Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during autum planting seasons 2016-17 and 2017-18 to assess the performance of various herbicides for managing weeds in sugarcane under central Narmada valley. All the weed control treatment caused significant reduction in weed density and biomass as compared to weedy check. Significantly lowest weed density and weed dry matter, maximum weed control efficacy, more number of tillars and highest number of millable canes were obtained with pre emergence application of metribuzin + One hoeing and post application of 2, 4-D resulted maximum cane yield (101.50 t/ha) followed by atrazine (PI)+post application of 2,4-D and paraquata and the yield was two times more than weedy check. Highest net profit (Rs 233852) and cost benefit ratio was found in treatment where applied metribuzin in pre application + One hoeing and post application of 2, 4-D and it is received only due to reduction in weed density at tillaring stage resulted increased the number of tillars and thickness of canes.
