Abstract: This research is based on the effect of various herbicidal treatments on Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) intercropping with Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L). This study investigated the effect of different herbicides treatments and hand weeding (once, twice and repeated) in comparison with weedy control and weedy check. In both growing season, data were collected on the density and dry weight of weed species, density of lentil, seed yield, total crop biomass, and harvest index of crop. Herbicides ability in controlling weeds depending on the weed species present. Application of Pendimethalin@1.0kg/ha as pre emergence herbicides demonstrated better for weeds control and gives high yield per unit area, effectively control weeds in lentil and chickpea. Prometryn and Metribuzin are inhibitors of photosynthesis and are generally used at pre emergence or sometimes used as a post emergence. When these herbicides are used as pre emergence, they are absorbed through the plant shoots while they are still underground and kill or injure the shoots before they rise from the soil surface. Yield losses of 40-80% have been observed due to weed infestation in lentil and also in chickpea weed have been notice one of the major factors as their losses ranged between 11 to 57%.In this study, the efficacy of some herbicides estimated in comparison with weedy control in lentil and chickpea and this research also carried out to study the effect of various herbicidal treatments, including chemicals such as Metribuzin and Sethoxydim, in controlling weeds in naturally infested fields of chickpea and lentil in Punjab.
