To improve grain yield under direct seeded and aerobic conditions, weed competitive ability of a rice genotype is a key desirable trait. Hence, understanding and dissecting weed competitive associated traits at both morphological and molecular level is important in developing weed competitive varieties. In the present investigation, the QTLs associated with weed competitive traits were identified in BC 1 F 2:3  population derived from weed competitive accession of  O. glaberrima  (IRGC105187) and  O. sativa  cultivar IR64. The mapping population consisting of 144 segregating lines were phenotyped for 33 weed competitive associated traits under direct seeded condition. Genetic analysis of weed competitive traits carried out in BC 1 F 2:3  population showed significant variation for the weed competitive traits and predominance of additive gene action. The population was genotyped with 81 genome wide SSR markers and a linkage map covering 1423 cM was constructed. Composite interval mapping analysis identified 72 QTLs linked to 33 weed competitive traits which were spread on the 11 chromosomes. Among 72 QTLs, 59 were found to be major QTLs (> 10% PVE). Of the 59 major QTLs, 38 had favourable allele contributed from the  O. glaberrima  parent. We also observed nine QTL hotspots for weed competitive traits ( qWCA2a ,  qWCA2b ,  qWCA2c ,  qWCA3 ,  qWCA5, qWCA7 ,  qWCA8 ,  qWCA9 , and  qWCA10 ) wherein several QTLs co-localised. Our study demonstrates  O. glaberrima  species as potential source for improvement for weed competitive traits in rice and identified QTLs hotspots associated with weed competitive traits.
