“…The inversion of soil in conventional tillage resulted in deeper placement of weed seeds and caused significant reduction in the density of weeds in rainfed pigeon pea + finger millet cropping system (Vijaymahantesh et al, 2013). Sidar and Thakur (2017) reported that, weed density and weed dry matter were significantly higher in conventional and minimum tillage compared to summer ploughing in finger millet. Das (2016) reported that minimum or zero tillage effectively reduced the infestation of striga.…”

Millets are the traditional staple food of dry land regions and have the potential to contribute substantially for food, fodder and the nutritional security. The millets are relatively poor competitors against weeds especially during the early growth stages due to their slow initial growth and wider spacing. Yield loss due to weeds in millets varies from 5 to 94 per cent depending on climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, soil moisture, sunlight and space when they are limiting, resulting in reduction in yield, quality and increased cost of production. The objective of this paper is to review the research that have been conducted pertaining to various aspects of weed management in millets. The literature suggests that instead of relying on any single method of weed control, all the feasible methods are to be integrated for the effective and sustainable management of weeds in millets. Integrated weed management can effectively overcome the problems of weed shift and development of resistance in weeds and reduce the weed seed bank and manage the weeds below the economic threshold level to avoid any economic loss.
