Abstract
Multiple field visits were performed to investigate weed flora of wheat fields in Rohtak district of Haryana, conducted during 2018 which revealed infestation of 28 weed species comprising 15 families of grasses and broadleaf weeds. The weeds were identified with the help of available literature and through comparison with the already identified weed species. Poa annua, Polypogon monspeliensis and broadleaf weeds Chenopodium album, Rumex retroflex, Coronopus didymus were the pre-dominant weeds in moist region, whereas Cynodon dactylon, Fumaria parviflora, Chenopodium album, Polypogon monspeliensis in light soil with low salinity. There was a greater variety of weeds in Bohar and Kharawar villages and the least was found in village Sheria and Garnavati from vegetative to fully grown stage. Maximum number of species were of family Poaceae and Asteraceae. This study will be helpful as an additional tool in maintaining the floristic composition of District Rohtak as well as in controlling the weed problem
