Weeds are a hidden foe for crop plants, interfering with their functions and suppressing their
growth and development. Yield losses of∼ 34% are caused by weeds among the major …

Rice production symbolizes the single largest land use for food production on the Earth. The
significance of this cereal as a source of energy and income seems overwhelming for …

Weeds pose a significant threat to agricultural production, leading to substantial yield losses
and increased herbicide usage, with severe economic and environmental implications. This …

Rice is a staple food for more than half of the global population. With the increasing
population, the yield of rice must correspondingly increase to fulfill the requirement. Rice is …

Direct seeding of rice is a promising resource conservation technology for rice-wheat
crop** system but its adoption is impeded due to heavy weed infestation. A field study was …

Abstract Echinochloa colona (L.) Link. is one of the most problematic weeds across the
world. It is an annual C 4 summer grass, native to tropical and subtropical Asia, emerged as …

An increasing water crisis as well as shortage of farm labor farmers in many Asian regions is
forcing a shift from puddled transplanted rice to direct-seeded rice. The weeds, however, are …

In Bangladesh, weeds in transplanted rice are largely controlled by labor-intensive and
costly manual weeding, resulting in inadequate and untimely weed control. Labor scarcity …

Direct seeding can curtail water and labor inputs involved in rice production; nevertheless,
its large-scale adoption is impeded by heavy weed infestation. A field study was undertaken …

Supplementing herbicide application with manual weeding in dry seeded rice fields can
help control weeds more effectively. To test this assumption, pre and post-emergence …
