Similarly, the number of quadrats thrown in each field was determined according to the field size. Care was taken to ensure that the fields to be observed were not close to each other. Densities and coverage areas of weeds on the basis of species were recorded in each field. Results: According to survey results; 26 weed species belonging to 14 families were determined. Among these, it was found that the prominent species were found to be Cyperus rotundus L., Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv., Sorghum halepense (L.)
