- Observation Weedy plots contained Echinochloa colona at 8.7%.
- Observation Weedy plots contained Cyperus difformis at 26.1%.
- Observation Weedy plots contained Fimbristylis miliacea at 14.5%.
- Observation Weedy plots contained Sphenochlea zeylanica at 27.5%.
- Observation Weedy plots contained Marsilea quadrifolia at 23.2%.
- Intervention effect Bensulfuron-methyl alone achieved 90.0% weed control efficiency.
- Intervention effect The bensulfuron-methyl and pretilachlor mixture achieved 92.2% weed control efficiency.
- Intervention effect Bensulfuron-methyl alone produced 5.48 t ha−1 grain yield.
- Intervention effect The mixture produced 5.53 t ha−1 grain yield.
- Intervention effect Both herbicide treatments were at par with twice hand weeding for weed control and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Bensulfuron-methyl treatments reduced total weed density and dry matter production more than recommended herbicides.
