Greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek], also known as mungbean, is extensively cultivated in India and other Asian countries. Being rich in protein, its grains are an important daily dietary component. Weeds are a major limiting factor in production of greengram that lead to a drastic reduction in yield. The presence of hardy weeds and slow initial crop growth compound this problem. Different strategies incorporating non-chemical and chemical methods have been practiced for efficient weed control in greengram. Non-chemical control methods include straw mulch (12-63% reduction in weed biomass), narrow row spacing (60-92% reduction in weed biomass), method of sowing (1-20% reduction in weed biomass), tillage practices (58% reduction in weed biomass), the frequency and rate of irrigation and fertilizer application (13-23% reduction in weed biomass), timing of hand weeding and selection of cropping system. Chemical control methods include the many herbicides with different selectivity and efficiency available for use in greengram. For efficient weed control, herbicides should be applied at the recommended rate and time in order to avoid inhibiting growth, symbiotic properties (number of nodules, dry weight of nodules, leghaemoglobin content in nodules) and grain yield in greengram crop. In this review, different weed management strategies including non-chemical and chemical weed control methods have been reviewed for their ability to control weeds in greengram. Furthermore, their influence on growth, symbiosis, yield and nutrient uptake of greengram, soil microflora and residual effect on succeeding crops have also been reviewed.
