Abstract

Convulvularis arvensis is an important weed found in wheat, maize, rice, sugarcane and cotton growing fields. It caused major yield losses in crop plants through competition for water, minerals and nutrients. Prescribed study was conducted to evaluate Convulvularis arvensis for it morphological traits under five different environmental locations. It was found that there was a positive and significant correlation among most of the study traits, fresh plant weight, plant length, leaf length, leaf width leaf area and moisture percentage. The highly contributing trait for fresh weight was found as plant dry weight. From GGE biplot it was found that the location 4 was highly suitable place for better growth and development of Convulvularis arvensis plants. It was suggested that the timely removal or control of Convulvularis arvensis is much necessary to minimize the yield losses of crop plants.
