Rice (Oryza sativa) is a significant cereal crop that belongs to the Poaceae family and contains water (12%), starch (75-80%), and protein (7.5%).Conventional tilled transplanting, a widely practiced method of rice (Oryza sativa L.) establishment in puddled soils in rice–rice systems in Asia, requires a large amount of labor and water, which are becoming scarce and expensive Weed competition is a significant obstacle in reducing DSR yield, but various weed management techniques are available, including cultural, biological, and chemical control. Post-emergence herbicides can be effective in reducing weeds, and an experiment will be conducted at the Agronomic Research Area of the University of Agriculture Faisalabad using the rice cultivar Pusa 1122. The treatments will be comprised of two factors. Four herbicides treatments included control), H1: Bispyribic sodium + Benosulfuron methyl @ 33.34 g ha-1 + 22.23 g ha-1,H2 : Bispyribic sodium + Benosulfuron methyl + Alkyl ether sulphate @ 44.46 g ha-1 + 29.64 g ha-1 + 65.75 ml ha-1, H3: Cyhalofop-butyl + Metamifop @ 177.84 ml ha-1 + 118.56 ml ha-1 , H4: Cyhalofop-butyl + Metamifop @ 70.24 ml ha-1 + 46.83 ml ha-1 (pyranix gold, rizabom, LCM) and three application times T1: 20 DAT, T2: 30 DAT, T3: 40 DAT. A randomized complete block design with a factorial arrangement will be used, with a gross plot size of 5 m × 1.8 m. Data on weed dynamics and several rice yield metrics will be collected using established protocols. The data will be subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD at a 5% probability level. The results showed that the lowest weed control (%) was observed where only Cyhalofop-butyl + Metamifop was applied 40 DAT while highest was recorded where Bispyribic sodium + Benosulfuron methyl + Alkyl ether sulphate was applied 30 DAT. In conclusion it is recommended that Bispyribic sodium + Benosulfuron methyl + Alkyl ether sulphate is best for weed control in rice at 30 DAT and Cyhalofop-butyl + Metamifop at 20 DAT while all herbicides are least effective at 40 DAT.
