Abstract

194 weed spp. belonging to 129 genera in 51 families were associated with various agro-ecosystems in Meghalaya. 171 spp. were recorded from paddy fields, 97 from maize, 102 from potato and 73 from shifting cultivation. Maize and potato fields contained many weed spp. in common, while the weed flora of paddy fields was more distinct comprising Ageratum conyzoides, Centella asiatica, Cyperus iria, Digitaria ciliaris, Eichhornia crassipes, Hydrilla verticillata and Polygonum hydropiper. There were seasonal and altitudinal variations in the weed flora.
