Horticultural crops are increasingly becoming very important in Nigeria’s economy. Weeds are a major problem to horticultural production as they take advantage of their initial slow growth rate. Weeds reduce crop yields, lower their quality, act as alternate host of many pests/diseases and also have allelopathic effects on crops. Weeds also interfere with vital farm operations like weeding, fertilizer application, herbicide application and harvesting. Both annual and perennial weeds are common in their actions. Farmers in Nigeria mostly employ biological, cultural and chemical methods in controlling weeds on their farms. To achieve success in weed management in Nigeria for increased yields and quality, there is therefore the need for an integrated weed management in horticultural production. Weed management requires a multifaceted approach, built upon an understanding of weeds and the crop. Weed management may involve non-chemical methods, chemical methods or a combination of the two. The major aim is to manage the weed population to a level below that will cause a reduction in economic return for the farmer. The decision on which method to be used depends on the environmental conditions, available labour, weed population, the crop, desired management technique and the cost of controlling weeds. This paper attempts to highlight some of the management strategies that could be used to manage weeds to a level below that could cause a reduction in the economic returns of farmers in Samaru, Zaria.
