Decrease the yield and nature of paddy by seeking supplements, water and daylight.

Like other crop paddy is also supected by many weeds. Weed infestation is regarded as one of the major causes of low crop yields throughout the world and can cause 50-60% reduction in grain yield under puddled conditions and 91% yield reduction in non-puddled conditions. When rice fields are not flooded continuously and plants are widely spaced as recommended weeds get a better chance to grow. In rice cultivation system, the longer presence of weeds in rice cropping paddy, the greater reduction of grain yield. It is reported that Echinochloa crusgalli is more competitive causing greater loss in growth and yield of rice as compared to other rice weeds.
