weed management in field. By good management weeds can be control.

1. Weed Management

2. Weed
 A weeds is a plant growing where it is not wanted
 Weed is an unwanted plant.
 A plant out of place
 A plant that is extremely noxious, useless, unwanted or
poisonous.

3. Losses of agriculture
The total annual loss of agricultural produce
1) Weeds: 45%
2) Insects: 30%
3) Diseases: 20%
4) Other pests (Rats, wild animals)
20%
30%45%
5%

4. Problems due to weeds
 Nutrient losses
 Water losses
 Light penetration
 Space competition
 Insects and diseases
 Increase cost of production
 Low quality crop
 Handing crop
 Allelopathic effect

5. Principles of weed Management
 Prevention
 Eradication
 Control

6. Prevention
It is a long term planning so that the weeds could be controlled
or managed more effectively and economically than is possible
where these are allowed to disperse freely.

7. Eradication: (ideal weed control
rarely achieved)
It infers that a given weed species, its seed & vegetative part
has been killed or completely removed from a given area & that
weed will not reappear unless reintroduced to the area.

8. Control
 In control methods, the weeds are seldom killed but their
growth is severely restricted, the crop makes a normal yield.
 Weed control methods are grouped into cultural, physical,
chemical and biological.
 Every method of weed control has its own advantages and
disadvantages.
 No single method is successful under all weed situations.
Many a time, a combination of these methods gives effective
and economic control than a single method.

9. Components of Control

10. Mechanical weed control
 Tillage
 Hoeing
 Hand weeding
 Digging
 Sickling and mowing
 Burning
 Flooding

11. Cultural weed control
 Field preparation
 Summer tillage
 Maintenance plant population
 Irrigation and drainage
 Crop rotation
 Growing of intercrops
 Mulching
 Varieties
 Inter cultivation

12. Chemical control
Chemicals that are used to kill plants or weeds are called
herbicides.
 Pre emergence
Example: pendi methalyne
 Post emergence
Example: atrazene

13. Biological control
Use of living organism’s viz., insects, disease organisms,
herbivorous fish, snails or even competitive plants for the control
of weeds is called biological control.
Example: parthenium beetle feed on parthenium

14. Classification of weeds

 Rabi weeds
