The analysis of data showed significant differences among therice establishment methods for the grass weed density (p = 0.002) at14 DAS/DAT in 2012 (Fig. 1) and for the weed density of broadleavedweeds at 14 DAS/DAT (p = 0.001) in 2013 (Fig. 2) and at flower-ing (p = 0.002) in 2013 (Fig. 2). At 14 DAS/DAT, the maximum grassdensity was recorded in NWSR and NPTR in 2012 and 2013, respec-tively (Figs. 1 and 2), whereas at flowering, it was found in DSRand NPTR in 2012 and 2013, respectively (Figs. 3 and 4). At 14DAS/DAT, the sedge density was maximum in DSR and in PTR in2012 and 2013, respectively, while at flowering, both the sedgeand broadleaved densities were maximum in NWSR and NPTR inboth years (Figs. 3 and 4).
