Wheat holds significant agricultural importance as it is extensively
cultivated across diverse climatic conditions and soil types. The transition from
cultivating tall varieties to dwarf and semi-dwarf (specifically Mexican wheat) varieties
has exacerbated the issue of weeds in significant wheat cultivation regions. Both grassy
and broadleaved weeds are commonly found in this agricultural crop. The detrimental
effects of weeds are most pronounced when they are permitted to compete with wheat
crops during the initial 45 days. The implementation of weed management strategies
encompasses both preventive measures and effective management practices. These
may include the use of uncontaminated agricultural seeds sourced only from accredited
state and national organizations, enhancement of crop vigor, altering the crop sequence,
application of phosphoric fertilizers in the absence of nitrogen, and rotation strategy for
herbicides.
