Ecology of weed

• Weed ecology is the study of the interaction or relationship between a weed and its environment (other living organisms as well as abiotic factors).
• Ecology is concerned with growth characteristics and adaptations that enable weeds to survive the change in the environment.
• Man plays an important role in changing the environment by altering the crop husbandry practices and by maintaining weed free monocrop or multicrop culture.
• For effective weed control, the study on both biology and ecology of a weed species are important.
