Abstract:
An experiment was conducted on farmers' field in a wheat-fallow- wheat cropping pattern under rainfed conditions on three soil families to study the role of soil variability in weed research. It was found that the yield potential of the soil depends upon the initial fertility status of the soil and on its other physio- chemical properties. The yield potential of Guliana soil family was greatest while Missa soil family had greater potential than Balkassar. Weeds were a serious problem in Guliana soil family, moderate in Missa soil family while minor in Balkassar soil family. The kinds of weeds in three soil families were almost the same but their occurrence order was altogether different. The weed population density was greatest in Guliana soil family while least on Balkassar soil family.
