Background: Chickpea is poor competitor to weeds because of slow growth rate and limited leaf development at early stage of crop growth and establishment especially in autumn season. Weed population and biomass in autumn chickpea are seven and two and half times higher than spring season of chickpea respectively. Mulching has a crucial role in weed suppression and moisture conservation in rain-fed condition where the trial was laid out. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during 2019-20 to study the effect of different weed control methods and mulching on growth and yield of chickpea at Brahmanand Post Graduate College, Rath district Hamirpur Uttar Pradesh. Dry biomass at full growth stage was found maximum (18.14 g plant-1) in combination with alachlor pre-emergence application @1.0 litre ha-1 and saw dust @ 5.0 tonne per hectare. Result: Plant height and tertiary branches were counted maximum with the same method of weed control and mulching. Highest seed (49.32 q ha-1) was also calculated with the application of alachlor weedicide which was found superior over pendimethaline and mechanical weed control. Sawdust mulching application also produced maximum seed yield (48.73 q ha-1) followed by straw and grass mulching.
