The field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, U.P., during kharif season of 2013 and 2014. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four tillage practices viz. Transplanted rice in puddled soil, Transplanted rice in non puddled soil, Direct seeded rice in puddled soil and Direct seeded rice in non puddled soil were in main plot and five weed management practices (Weed free, Pyrazosulfuron at 0.20 kg ha^-1 as pre emergence + one hand weeding at 40 DAT/DAS, Tank mix application of Bispyribac sodium at 0.25 litre ha^-1 + Fenoxaprop at 1.00 litre ha^-1 at 18 DAT/DAS, Tank mix application of Bispyribac sodium at 0.25 litre ha^-1 + Ethoxysulfuron at 0.12 kg ha^-1 at 18 DAT/DAS, Tank mix application of Fenoxaprop at 1.00 litre ha^-1 + Ethoxysulfuron at 0.12 kg ha^-1 at 18 DAT/DAS) along with weedy check in sub plot with three replication. Highest plant height, plant dry weight, and Relative Growth Rate were recorded in Transplanted rice in puddled soil while Crop Growth Rate is in Direct seeded rice in puddled soil. Among the weed management practices, maximum plant height, plant dry weight, Crop Growth Rate and Relative Growth Rate was recorded in weed free followed by Pyrazosulfuron at 0.20 kg ha^-1 as pre emergence + one hand weeding at 40 DAT/DAS. More number of healthy grains panicle^-1, highest seed yield, straw yield and harvest index was recorded in Transplanted rice in puddled soil. However, Pyrazosulfuron at 0.20 kg ha^-1 as pre emergence + one hand weeding at 40 DAT/DAS recorded significant maximum performance of above these parameters.
