Abstract
The impact of waste water irrigation on weeds in wheat was studied during rabi season of 2008. It was observed that higher weed density was recorded in waste water irrigated sites as compared with tubewell water. The effect of untreated drain water was subsequently tested on major weed such as Avena ludoviciana in lab. The results revealed that the drain water increased the weed germination and promoted the shoot and root length of A. ludoviciana in wheat.
