Paddy, as most consumed cereal crop faces weeds as main constraint in its production. Weed eradication by hand weeding as well as by herbicides have their own limitation in practical application. To overcome these limitations, mechanical weeding can be selected as appropriate weed control measure. Based on this, a power weeder was tested for weed control in upland paddy at 20 and 45 DAS (Days after sowing) to check the performance and compared with traditional hand weeding and manual operated mechanical weeder (Ambika paddy weeder). The machine show well suitable in upland condition for weeding at both 20 and 45 DAS. The power weeder was found at par with the Ambika paddy weeder in weeding efficiency as 74.22 % and 86% at 20 and 45 DAS respectively. The plant damaged was more in Ambika paddy weeder as 7% than paddy power weeder at 20 DAS. There was no significant variation in field efficiency for Ambika paddy weeder and power weeder at 20 DAS, but highest field efficiency was shown by paddy power weeder as 70% for 45 DAS. Whereas the hand weeding showed the highest values in weeding efficiency and field efficiency at 20 and 45 DAS as it was an ideal method of weed control.
