Training Manual on Identification of Weeds

Weed Management: Identification and Practical Applications addresses the critical issue of weed-induced yield losses, which account for 30% of total crop loss. Weeds deplete vital resources such as nutrients, water, and space, impacting crop productivity, quality, and market value. This manual offers a detailed guide on the identification of common weeds across field crops, aquatic systems, and non-cropped areas. It also provides practical instructions on herbicide application, spray pump calibration, and necessary calculations. Designed for agronomy students, extension personnel, and researchers, this resource aims to enhance weed management practices and improve crop productivity for sustainable food security.
