WEED PLANTS IN CUCUMBER FIELDS (CUCUMIS SATIVUS L.)

Abstract

A quantitative study was conducted on the species composition of weeds in fields planted with cucumbers in the Kibrai District of the Tashkent Region. The dominant weed species, the degree of weed infestation, and their abundance per square metre of land were determined. The Latin names of the weed species are given. The most common weed species are indicated. It is noted that the widespread use of crop rotation in vegetable growing creates certain difficulties in identifying weed species specific to each crop type.
