Summary

Field experiments were done during the rainy seasons of 1980 and 1981 at Hissar, India; they studied the effects of time of weed removal on the yield of mung beans. Removing weeds at 10, 20 or 30 days after sowing led to significantly larger yields than that of the weedy check. Maximum seed yields in booth years were obtained when weeds were removed 20 days after sowing
