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 top food aid recipients. Due to several production restrictions, such as weed infestation, achieving the desired wheat production is challenging. One of the greatest biotic restrictions in wheat productivity is weed infestation. Wheat is plagued with a variety of weed flora, both grassy and broadleaf, due to the fact that it is grown under a variety of agroclimatic conditions, cropping sequences, tillage, and irrigation regimes. Weed-related yield losses differ based on the weed species, density, and environmental conditions. Weed management approaches such as cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical weed control methods can help reduce crop loss due to weed infestation. This seminar paper's goal is to evaluate new research findings on wheat weed management strategies. To feed a growing population, wheat output must expand without relying heavily on chemicals such as fertilisers and herbicides, which have unknown negative consequences on the environment and human health. For higher agricultural productivity, weed management strategies must be improved. In the agriculture sector, improved herbicide formulations with low or no toxicity except for the target weeds appear to be in high demand in the near future.
