economy with 60% of India’s population depending on
agriculture sector. The central concern of Indian agriculture is
low productivity, evident in modest average crop yields. India
may need at least 20 million tons of additional food every year
to meet the minimum food and nutritional demands of the
growing population which is expected to be 1.7 billion by
2050. Thus the greatest challenge for Indian agriculture is to
produce more with minimal input resources without causing
imbalance to environment and in a sustainable manner. One of
the approaches to face the challenge is production of crops
with increased input resource use efficiency by managing
impediments such as weeds, which are adaptable to all
adverse environments and compete with the crops for
utilization of land, labor, light, nutrients and water resources
(Yaduraju and Rao 2013). In this presentation, an effort is
made to give an overall picture of resources used in Indian
agriculture, extent of competition by weeds for resources with
crops and extent of losses caused by weeds and appropriate
weed management strategies for enhancing input resources
use efficiency of crops for attaining increased crop
productivity and production to meet the present and future
demands of Indian population.","2017-03","published",,,,,,,"8--",,"Biennial Conference of the Indian Society of Weed Science on “Doubling Farmers’ Income by 2022: The Role of Weed Science","MPUA&T, Udaipur, Rajasthan","March 1-3, 2017","conference",,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,"",,"","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
