The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of different muching materials for controlling of weed Spanish needle (Bidens pilosa L.). A field experiment was conducted at ridge rice field in wet season 2019 of Samoeng Rice Research Center, Chiang Mai, during July to September 2019. The experimental design was RCBD consisting of four treatments; 1) control 2) rice straw 3) paper of rice straw and 4) black plastic with three replications, plots size 50x50 cm. The data was collected for heights, weed density, weed cover and whole plant dry weight at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. The result showed that Spanish needle was very responsive to the different mulching materials. The black plastic and paper of rice straw inhibited for heights, weed density, weed cover and dry weight of the Spanish needle at 4 weeks, but paper of rice straw was slightly less effective for 3 and 4 weeks. The growth of Spanish needle for rice straw and control was not different.
