Abstracts: Weeds not only cause quantitative, but also hamper the quality of produce owing to competition for nutrients, moisture, light and to some extent for space. The extent of yield reduction of rice due to weeds is estimated from 15 -95 per cent (Gogai et al., 1996).
Keywords: Livelihood, Rice, Weed
