Abstract:

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of weed status within the home garden agroforestry system at ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute (CAFRI), Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. The study was conducted to investigate the diversity and distribution of weeds in the agroforestry system during 2022-2023. A total of 21 weed species belonging to 14 families and 17 genera were identified, with notable representation from families such as Amaranthaceae and Poaceae. The findings highlight the seasonal fluctuations in weed species composition and abundance, shedding light on the dynamic nature of weed communities in the agroforestry context. The research findings contribute to the understanding of weed ecology in agroforestry settings, offering valuable information on sustainable agricultural practices and ecosystem management.
