Plant Taxon. 27(1): 85‒101, 2020 (June) © 2020 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF WEED FLORA IN ODISHA, INDIA 1 1 TARANISEN PANDA*, NIRLIPTA MISHRA , SHAIKH RAHIMUDDIN , 2 BIKRAM K. PRADHAN AND RAJ B. MOHANTY Department of Botany, Chandbali College, Chandbali, Bhadrak-756133, Odisha, India Keywords: Bhadrak district; Diversity; Ecosystem services; Traditional medicines; Weed. Abstract This study consolidated our understanding on the weeds of Bhadrak district, Odisha, India based on both bibliographic sources and field studies. A total of 277species of weed taxa belonging to 198 genera and 65 families are reported from the study area. About 95.7% of these weed taxa are distributed across six major superorders; the Lamids and Malvids constitute 43.3% with 60 species each, followed by Commenilids (56 species), Fabids (48 species), Companulids (23 species) and Monocots (18 species). Asteraceae, Poaceae, and Fabaceae are best represented. Forbs are the most represented (50.5%), followed by shrubs (15.2%), climber (11.2%), grasses (10.8%), sedges (6.5%) and legumes (5.8%). Annuals comprised about 57.5% and the remaining are perennials. As per Raunkiaer classification, the therophytes is the most dominant class with 135 plant species (48.7%).The use of weed for different purposes as indicated by local people is also discussed. This study provides a comprehensive and updated checklist of the weed speciesof Bhadrak district which will serve as a tool for conservation of the local biodiversity. Introduction India, a country with heterogeneous landforms, shows great variation from one region to another in respect of climate, altitude and vegetation.The country has 60 agroeco-subregions and each agro-eco-subregion has been divided into agro-eco-units at the district level for developing long term land use strategies (Gajbhiye and Mandal, 2006).

Fields surveyed were done according to the quantitative survey method by using 0.5m x 0.5m size quadrate with 20 samples from each field. Weeds present in each field were identified and the data were used to calculate frequency, field uniformity, density and relative abundance values for each species. A total of 40 different weed species belong to 16 families were identified of which 22 annual and 18 perennial; 12 grassy weeds, 10 sedges and 18 broadleaved weeds. On the basis of relative abundance the 13 most prevalent and abundant weed species were selected to determine their salt tolerance level as well as control method in the rice filed.
