Different Weeds Management Practices Adopted by Growers under Different Cropping System in Punjab, Pakistan
Abstract: Weeds are major constraint to low production and are responsible for considerable yield loses in field crops. Weeds are hardy and vigorous in growth habits consume the large amount of water and nutrients causing high losses in production. Different physical, chemical and biological methods are being used in Punjab for the control of weeds. In physical control method manual or mechanical power are used to remove the weeds depending on …

Allelopathic Nature of Cucumis Prophetarum Linn.
Abstract: ABSTRACTCucumis prophetarum Linn. is perennial, monoecious climber, commonly growing weed, belonging to family Cucurbitaceae. The whole plant of C. prophetarum is medicinally important. Plant pacifies vitiated dysentery, diarrheic diseases, flatulene, skin diseases, antivenin and general debility. Dispending medicinally uses, our study has found that this weed is allelopathic in nature. To check the allelopathic activity, C. prophetarum was assessed for the effects of their extracts on the growth of mature …

Screening of Allelopathic Activity of Momordica dioica and Mukia maderaspatana
Abstract: ABSTRACTAllelopathy is a chemical process which a plant uses to keep other plants from growing too close or away from it. Allelopathy refers to the chemical inhibition of one species by another. The “inhibitory” chemical releases into the environment where it affects the development and growth of neighboring plants. In the present investigation to check the allelopathic activity, two plants of family Cucurbitaceae were selected, i.e., Momordica dioica Roxb. ex …

Allelopathic Effect of Lantana camara L. on Moong Germination
Abstract: Allelopathy is a biological process where plants inhibit the growth and germination of surrounding species. This study examined the allelopathic effects of Lantana camara L. leaf extracts using concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% on Vigna radiata L., compared to a control group. Results showed that L. camara L. extracts significantly inhibited both growth and germination of Vigna radiata L., with increasing effects at higher concentrations. On the 10th …

Herbicide Resistance in Relation to Weed Management in Crops and Cropping Systems in Reference to North East: Review
Abstract: AbstractWeeds are one of the greatest limiting factors to efficient crop production. As a consequence of structural and financing problems the cultural condition of the soil deteriorates and weeds proliferate; many species are hard to kill. Therefore, for sustaining food grain production to feed ever-increasing population and ensuring food security, effective weed management is very essential. Despite advances in control technologies, weeds have retained their rank as the most damaging …

Allelopathy Effect of Phytochemicals in Laticiferous Species Sarcostemma brunonianum Wight & Arn and Ficus tsjakela Burm. f on Vegetative Growth of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
Abstract: The present experimental work was focused out to determine phytochemicals of two medicinal laticifers Sarcostemma brunonianum and Ficus tsjakela and to check the allelopathy potential on Sorghum bicolor under in vitro conditions. Allelochemicals are phytocompounds excreted during the process of secondary metabolism. Chemical components may occur in leaves, stem, root, latex, rhizomes, flowers, fruits, seeds and even in pollen grains. Plant latex supports defense in milk yielding plant species. The …
