A study was carried out to evaluate the impact of pruning intensities and weed management practices on rice production under Dalbergia sissoo (family Fabaceae)-based agroforestry system in agroforestry research farm, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, during kharif season of 2019-2020. Results revealed that effective weed management methods, such as hand weeding at 30 days after sowing and preemergence application of pendimethalin substantially improved crop growth. Among various pruning intensities, lighter pruning (25% and 50%) contribute to taller plants and more favorable yield attributes compared to more extensive pruning (75% and no pruning). Notably, open conditions, free from tree canopy interference, yielded the highest grain and straw outputs, showcasing superior harvest index values. This study underscores the importance of tailored strategies for managing pruning and weeds to maximize rice yields under agroforestry systems, offering insights into optimizing productivity
