The comparative effect of three herbicides i.e, Gesapex combi (atrazine + ametryn), Stomp (pendimethaline) and Tribunal (methabenzthiazuron) in various combinations, uprooting and hoeing, on weed control, trash and cane yield as well as sugar recovery were studied during the years 1980-81 and 1981-82. These investigations showed that the weed control was 30.33% with hand weeding and hoeing while with various herbicides 71% control was observed. Trash yield was significantly decreased by the application of herbicides with the exception of lower doses which increased the trash yield upto 1.79 t/ha. A similar increase was also observed in the cane yield with the application of various herbicides during 1980-81 and 1981- 82, respectively. Uprooting and hand hoeing did not show a ked increase in the cane commercial sugar percentage (CCS). However, a significant increase upto 10.98% in CCS was observed through the application of herbicides.
