Effect of weed management practices on weeds and productivity of timely sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Wheat, a significant grain crop, is the second-largest crop in terms of acreage and output after rice. It farmed on around 217 million hectares worldwide, with nearly half it poor nations. Wheat member Poaceae family. Weed flora wheat includes Phalaris minor, Avena ludoviciana, Chenopodium album, Lathyrus aphaca, Vicia sativa, hirsute, Medicago hispida, Cichorium intybus, Asphodelus tenuifolius, Melilotus alba. The major weed dominated grassy weeds comprising minor (29.7%) ludoviciana (40%), while broad leaf were Lathyrus, aphaca (8.8%), album (8.2%), indica (4%), Rumex retroflexus Coronopus didymus (2.7%), Convolvulus arvensis (2.5%).
