Title The historical and future perspective of Weed Science research in India
 
Creator Rao, A N
 
Subject Weed Science
 
Description The weeds menace is as old as agriculture. The total actual economic loss, due to weeds
in 10 major crops of India, was estimated at US$ 11 billion. Weed management involves
integrated efforts to manage weeds in crops to selectively minimize the weed
competition so as to enable crops to optimally use resources such as soil fertility, water
and sunlight, for attaining the optimal harvestable crop yield. During the last fifty years
researchers have worked, evolved weed management technologies and passed on to
farmers through different means by which farmers got benefited. However, weeds
continue to be a major problem as weeds are dynamic. Hence, continuous efforts are
needed to monitor the ever changing weeds and develop suitable weed management
technologies for varying ecosystems. It is essential to review the research work so far
conducted and plan for future weed management research for continuously keeping the
crop weed balance in favor of crops. Hence in this paper a review of the research
published in Indian Journal of Weed Science (IJWS) during the last fifty years was
analyzed and synthesis is presented in this paper along with future weed management
research needs...
