A field experiment was conducted during Kharif, 2022, in Institute of Rice Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad in Telangana state, India. Fourteen weed management practices were evaluated in a randomized complete block design, replicated thrice. Weed management in Dry DSR can be done by adopting mechanical/ Hand weeding at 20, 40, 60 DAS under labour available conditions. Under labour scarcity conditions PE application of Pendimethalin 38.4% + Pyrazosulfuron ethyl 0.85% ZC 900 + 20 g/ha (Ready mix) followed by Metsulfuron Methyl 10% + Chlorimuron ethyl 10% WP 4 g/ha + Cyhalofop Butyl 10% EC 75g/ha (Tank mix) PoE weed followed by mechanical weeding at 40-45 DAS is the best option. Other suitable Pre emergence herbicides that can be used are Pyrazosulfuron ethyl 10% WP 20 g/ha, Pendimethalin 38.4% + Pyrazosulfuron ethyl 0.85% ZC 900 + 20 g/ha (Ready mix) and Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS 677.25 g/ha. Post emergence application of Triafamone 20% + Ethoxysulfuron l0% WG 44+22.5 g/ha (Ready mix) and Penoxsulam 1.02 % + Cyhalofop-butyl 5.1% OD 135 g/ha (Ready mix) at 2-4 weed leaf stage.
