  • Abstract:
  • Over the past few decades, our planet Earth has been facing immense pressure due to ever-increasing population and resulting increase in the demand for food. On the other hand, weeds are increasing this problem further. Parthenium hysterophorus is also a weed that must be properly managed to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. At present, a new eco-friendly approach is used for the management of Parthenium weed by composting it. The effect of Parthenium hysterophorus compost and inorganic fertilizer was observed on the yield of Triticum aestivum. Triticum aestivum productivity was observed and a comparative study was conducted under three different conditions. These are (i) one field, where parthenium manure was used as an external nutrient source, (ii) one field, where an inorganic fertilizer was used as an external nutrient source and (iii) one field, where no external nutrient source is used. It was observed that compost of Parthenium hysterophorus gave good results in the yield of Triticum aestivum.
