EXPERTS COMMENTS
Weeds are the major problem in gaining higher yield of any
crop. Most of the farmers are unable to control the weeds properly. I
would like to say that without proper weed control, all the technologies
fail to boost up the production.
Globally, 30 thousand weed species are inflicting heavy yield
losses (Farming Future-Bayer Cropscience 1/2016). In Pakistan, more
than 250 and in Punjab more than 150 plants have been reported as
weeds. Out of these, almost 50 plants are weel known as absolute
weeds. More than adozon have been declared as noxious weeds. It is
very impressive that all 150 weeds species have not only been arrayed
accoding to their relative weediness but the most probable weed
specific solutions have also been suggested.
Several plants like Parthenium hysterophorus are emerging as
new weeds under the scenario of changing climate. During the course
of Weed Eradication Campaign March 2017, our department arranged
several meetings with Mr. Muhammad Ashiq for the preparation of
weeds array and declaration of new species as noxious weeds. Our
inputs have also been acknowledged by the author. I am glad that the
author has made painful efforts to pile up the findings of his research
in this ready reference book.
This publication attempted by Mr. Muhammad Ashiq is really
a marvelous job. It is hoped that the students, teachers, researchers,
trainers and farmers may get benefit from this book. The author
deserves commendation for his efforts and I congratulate him for
compiling such a comprehensive book on weed science purely based
on indigenous research.
