Abstract:
Rice is a staple food source for people all over the world. Weed growth in paddy fields, on the other hand, is a serious biological threat to increased rice yield and quality. Several cultural, chemical, biological, and physical strategies influence weed production and composition in paddy fields. In most circumstances, herbicides can effectively control weeds, however chemical-based weed management is not a long-term answer. The different weed kinds and their consequences on rice production are discussed in this article, as well as weed management approaches for suppressing weed development in rice fields. The essential arguments are that rice has a wide variety of weeds (grassy, sedges, and broad leaf), weeds cause crop losses, and weed management solutions are restricted. Researchers will be able to learn more about how to boost agricultural productivity and manage weeds in a sustainable manner because of this research.
