As agriculture plays a significant role in Indian Economy, it is very important that farmers are provided with all necessary information and support to maximize their yield. In this regard, weed management plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of the yield. Weeds compete with the crops for space, nutrients from the soil, water and space which are the primary factors for growth of crops. The objective of this study is to analyse the weeds in the Bhainsrorgarh wild life sanctuary region situated in the Chittorgarh district in South East Rajasthan. The people living in more than 20 villages in this region are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. The occurrence of weeds depends on the season, life span and the location. The study incorporates morphological analysis of 15 types of weeds for their diversity indices, richness index, frequency, relative density and importance value index. The findings of the study will benefit the forest department and the local community in understanding the impact of these weeds on their harvest and thereby help the decision makers towards an effective and efficient control on weed management.
