A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2018-19 at Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. Pre-plant incorporation of ethalfluralin 720 g/ha gave effective control of weeds and gave potato tuber yield similar to ethalfluralin 810 g/ha, oxyfluorfen 200 g/ha, metribuzin 525 g/ha and hand weeding (weed free). Ethalfluralin at 540-1440 g /ha was safe for the succeeding maize crop.
