HABITAT AND DIFFERENT CROP VARIETIES DETERMINING WEED SPECIES COMPOSITION AND DIVERSITIES (STUDY CASES IN PALEMBANG AND INDRALAYA, INDONESIA)

Abstract

In this article, it evaluates the diversity of growing weeds in different cultivated crops areas in Palembang and Indralaya, Indonesia. Controlling of diverse ecological conditions of weed lives in seriously hard. Weeds brought damages to arable crops such as decreased productivity and quality of crops which have a strong development root systems and mostly distributed on the topsoil, thus, it easily competing with crops to the nutrients, light and water. The results of this research were collected 63 weed species belong to 55 generas and 32 families were identified. This study focuses on analysis to one number of key factors such as the density and number of species, habitats, fertilizers, chemicals and climate conditions of weeds. With this, different crops have affected the diversity of weeds in the research areas. Currently, some studies have illustrated that   the change in weeds growth and development situations is closely related to habitat with crop species. Specifically, the several important essential elements like climate conditions, fertilizers, chemicals.
