Abstract

Qualitative floristic surveys were carried out during 2011-2013 in Sabarkantha district, Gujarat, India. Sabarkantha district is under cultivation of different ravi, jayad and kharif crops by a natural rain and a network of canal system. Weeds typically produce large numbers of seeds, assisting their spread. Seeds spread into natural environments, including waterways, via wind, people, vehicles, machinery, birds and other animals. Usually weeds grow faster than native plants and successfully compete for the available nutrients, water, space and sunlight. During the survey, 70 species of angiosperms belonging to 21 families and 49 genera were documented. Dominant families were Poaceae with 15 species followed by Asteraceae (13), Amaranthaceae & Euphorbiaceae (5), Solanaceae (4), Capparaceae, Commelinaceae & Scrophulariaceae (3), 6 families were represented by two species each, whereas Seven families were monospecific.
KEY WORDS: Agricultural crops; Sabarkantha district, Gujarat, India.
