REVIEW ON WEED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN WHEAT (Triticum spp.) | Asian Journal of Plant and Soil ..

Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a cereal grain that originated in the Near East's Levant region but is now grown all over the world. It belongs to the Plantae kingdom and the Poaceae family. Ethiopia is one of Africa's biggest food aid recipients. Due to many production constraints, such as weed infestation, achieving the desired wheat production is difficult. One of the main biotic constraints in wheat development is weed infestation. Wheat is infested with a variety of weed flora, both grassy and broadleaf, due to the fact that it is cultivated under a variety of agroclimatic conditions, cropping sequences, tillage, and irrigation regimes.Weedrelated yield losses differ depending on the weed type, density, and environmental factors. Weed management practises such as cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical weed control methods can help minimise yield loss due to weed infestation. This seminar paper's aim is to review recent research findings on wheat weed management practises. To feed an increasing population, wheat production must increase without relying heavily on chemicals such as fertilisers and herbicides, which have unpredictable negative effects on the environment and human health. For better crop yield, weed control techniques must be improved.In the agricultural sector, improved herbicide formulations with low to no toxicity except for the target weeds seem to be in high demand in the near future.
