  2. WEED FLORA AND WEED DISTRIBUTION IN MANGO • Mango (Magifera indica L.)occupies major area under fruits in the country. It is adaptable to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions provided severe and recurring frosts in winter do not endanger the young trees. • There are numbers of varieties grown in India and some are of export quality. Veneer grafting and stone grafting are found to be the best method for mango propagation. Previous Next End

  3. WEED FLORA AND WEED DISTRIBUTION IN MANGO The major monocot weeds that occur in mango orchards are Cynodon dactylon and Cyperus rotundus and dicot weeds are Bidens pilosa, Tridax procumbens and Phyllanthus maderaspatensis. Grassy weeds are distributed about 60-70 per cent in mango cultivation followed by sedges and broad leaved weeds. Previous Next End

  4. WEED FLORA AND WEED DISTRIBUTION IN MANGO CynodondactylonPers In black soils and in dryland is a noxious weed and once a field is infested with it, cultivation becomes impossible. It belongs to the family Graminae (Poaceae) and common name is Bahama Grass, Hariyali. In tamil it is called as Arugampullu It is considered as one of the ten worst weeds in the world and problematic in all tropical and subtropical areas in dry land and garden lands. Previous Next End

  5. CynodondactylonPers. A perennial grass extensively creeping by means of scaly rhizomes or by strong flat stolons, very common in plains and hills slender and grows upto 7.5 to 30 cm height. The underground stems are hard, brittle, thick, pale white in colour and covered with short scale-leaves and occur at varying depth in soil. Leaves are linear, finely acute, 7.5 to 12.5 cm long, spikes 3 to 6. Propagated by through seeds and underground stolons. Previous Next End

  6. WEED FLORA AND WEED DISTRIBUTION IN MANGO Cyperus rotundus L Family is Cyperaceae and common name is Nut Grass, Nutsedge. In tamil it is called as Korai kizhangu. Stoloniferous, stolons not bulbiferous, stems trigonous, up to 1 m high, and tubers not zoned. Stem sparsely tufted. Leaves shorter or longer than stem, narrow, numerous, bracts usually 3 and up to 60 cm long. Cont… Previous Next End
