The objective of this research was to determine suitable hand weeding frequency of the weed control for winter lentil.

Research results indicated that hand weeding in early reason (April and May) in the most appropriate practice for winter lentil. The times hand weeding in economically not feasible and once hand weeding is not enough to control weed effectively. Twice hand weeding when done lates had a negative effect on yield as weel.
