The main reason for rapid weed invasion was the lack of awareness of the gravity of situation among the stakeholders hindering adoption of effective weed control measures.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njbs.v2i0.7486">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njbs.v2i0.7486</a></p> <p><em>Nepalese Journal of Biosciences </em>2 : 24-30 (2012)</p> ER -
