Cotton is generally cultivated during the wet season. As a result, a large
number of weeds thrive in this crop. It is very susceptible to weed competition,
especially during the first 50-60 days post-planting, resulting in yield losses ranging
from 16% to 63%. Consequently, it is critical to maintain a weed-free environment
throughout this period in order to maximize crop output. The chapter highlights the
significance of integrating cultural, mechanical, chemical, and biological control
methods to create a synergistic effect that reduces weed competition, enhances crop
yield, and sustains soil health.
