India has a wide range of agro-climates regions and soil types. The highly diverse agriculture systems are beset with different types of weed problem. Weeds cause 10-80% crop yield losses besides deteriorating quality of products and causing health and environmental hazards. Traditionally, weed control has been largely dependent on manual weeding. However, increased labour scarcity and costs are encouraging farmers to adopting labour and cost saving options. Research on weed management in India is mostly centered on herbicide efficacy. Herbicides applied alone or in combination, have been regarded as essential tools in effective management of weeds in different ecosystem. To meet the demands of increasing population and avoid food import, crop productivity in India needs major improvement, which can be attained by identifying the constraints that hinder in achieving higher yields of wheat. Detailed review of weed flora and weed shift, factor of weed competition and management' options future in India is made under this chapter.
