Abstract

Chenopodium murale, a significant weed in wheat, maize, rice, sugarcane, and cotton fields, poses a substantial threat to crop plants due to its competitive nature for water, minerals, and nutrients, leading to significant yield losses. To address this issue, a prescribed study was conducted to assess the morphological traits of Chenopodium murale under three different environmental locations. The results revealed a positive and significant correlation among several study traits: height, dry weight, fresh weight, inflorescence fresh weight, leaf area, leaf length, leaf width, and root length. Notably, plant leaf width emerged as the most influential trait contributing to the plant's height. Furthermore, the study identified location three as an exceptionally favorable environment for the robust growth and development of Chenopodium murale plants. To mitigate potential yield losses in crop plants, the study recommends the timely removal or control of Chenopodium murale, emphasizing the importance of managing its population effectively.
