Abstract
This work was conducted to study the different weed species in maize crop of Chhindwara district, (M.P.). The composition of weed species within the Asteraceae family was extensively distributed across the fields in this region. The frequency and density of these weeds peaked during November, coinciding with the flowering stage of the crops. Effective weed control relied on a thorough understanding of the biological and ecological traits of both weeds and crops. The interaction between weeds and crops was also affected by the application of herbicides, as certain crops showed sensitivity to specific chemicals. To enhance weed management, farmers should consider adopting advanced techniques, including chemical and biological control strategies.
