during Rabi season of 2016-17. The experiment comprised of five post emergence herbicides (metsulfuron, carfentrazone, 2, 4-D Ester, pyroxsulam and halauxifen) and their mixtures at different doses along with weedy check and weed free treatment. Application of halauxifen + pyroxsulam sprayed at 23.96 g/ha at 35 days after sowing was the most effective treatment to control the broad leaf weeds in wheat with higher weed control efficiency. Application of the herbicides halauxifen + pyroxsulam at 23.96 g/ha, metsulfuron + 2, 4-D Ester at (3 + 500 g/ha) and halauxifen + pyroxsulam at 19.17 g/ha significantly increased the dry matter accumulation of wheat and plant height compared to weedy check. Application of halauxifen + pyroxsulam at 23.96 kg/ha, metsulfuron + 2, 4-D Ester at 3 + 500 g/ha and carfentrazone + 2, 4-D Ester at 15 + 500 g/ha resulted into higher number of tillers per meter row length. Halauxifen + pyroxsulam sprayed at 23.96 g/ha at 35 days after sowing resulted into higher grain yield of 5395 kg/ha, straw yield of 8466 kg/ha and biological yield of 13861 kg/ha followed by metsulfuron + 2, 4-D Ester at 3 + 500 g/ha and carfentrazone + 2, 4-D Ester at 15 + 500 g/ha.

The present study was carried out with the objective to process barley, oat and flaxseeds and to utilize them to develop value added Ready-to-Cook (RTC) convenient mix. The process for preparation of RTC convenient mix was standardized and prepared product was assessed for various sensory attributes. It was observed that 20% barley flour and 50% oat flour can be incorporated in wheat flour for the preparation of acceptable RTC convenient mix. Various levels of roasted flaxseed powder (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%) were incorporated in acceptable mixed cereal formulation. The value added barley and oat based convenient mixes containing 5-25% flaxseeds were adjudged 'liked moderately' to 'liked very much' by the judges. Barley and oat-based value added RTC convenient mix containing flaxseed (Type I and II) contained significantly higher protein, fat, fibre and TDF content. Hence, 25% flaxseed can be incorporated in barley and oat based convenient mixes for the preparation of value added Ready-to-Cook (RTC) convenient mix.

The experiment comprised of five post emergence herbicides (metsulfuron, carfentrazone, 2, 4-D Ester, pyroxsulam and halauxifen) and their mixtures at different doses along with weedy check and weed free treatment. Major weed flora in experiment includes Anagallis arvensis, Chenopodium album, Melilotus indicus, Medicago denticulata, Rumex dentatus etc. Application of the herbicides halauxifen + pyroxsulam at 23.96 g/ha, metsulfuron + 2, 4-D Ester at (3 + 500 g/ha) and halauxifen + pyroxsulam at 19.17 g/ha significantly increased the dry matter accumulation of wheat and plant height at harvest compared to weedy check. Application of halauxifen + pyroxsulam at 23.96 kg/ha, metsulfuron + 2, 4-D Ester at 3 + 500 g/ha and carfentrazone + 2, 4-D Ester at 15 + 500 g/ha resulted into higher number of tillers per meter row length. Application of halauxifen + pyroxsulam sprayed at 23.96 g/ha at 35 days after sowing was the most effective treatment to control the weeds in wheat with higher grain yield of 5395 kg/ha, straw yield of 8466 kg/ha and biological yield of 13861 kg/ha with highest weed control efficiency followed by metsulfuron + 2, 4-D Ester at 3 + 500 g/ha and carfentrazone + 2, 4-D Ester at 15 + 500 g/ha.
