Abstract
Weeds have an essential economic impact on crops. By competing for resources such as nutrients, water and light, wheat yield
decreased approximately ten percent each year. Deprived of weed control, crop yields can be expressively a bridged. Commonly
shown that weeds show slow harvest and increase combine repair costs. Some herbicides afford excellent control on broadleaf
weed with small or no damage of wheat. Injury varies with variety, growth stage and herbicide. Until on the basis of sensitivity of
herbicide there is no any type of research has been conducted on many of the varieties planted. Exclusively this review inspects the
field problems of weeds from the chemical point of view. Buctril Super 60EC, Lihua, Ally max and Wheat Star have been studied in
populations of herbicide selection and have therefore been selected as vital for this review. A lot of herbicides suggested to control
of broadleaf weeds in wheat are Affinity Broad Spec (tribenuron + thifen sulfuron), Buctril super 60 % EC, Logoran Extra, Starane-
M, Agility SG (metsulfuron dicamba + tribenuron + thifensulfuron), Ally XP (metsulfuron), 2,4-D, Banvel (dicamba), Bristle 69 EW,
Amber (triasulfuron), Curtail (2,4-D + clopyralid), Harmony Puma super 69EW, Topik 15WP, Safener15WP, Certain 80WD and
Tremor 24EC. On the basis of exceptional control of broadleaf weeds estimated bromoxynil, pyrasulfotoleis & another tool to control
ALS-inhibitor resistant weeds. Current studies were started to find out the most effective and economical herbicide and their rates to
control broad leaved weeds in wheat.

INTRODUCTION
Because of comparable morphology and growth
pattern, monocot weeds offer more serious rivalry. There
are numerous variables for this decrease, for example,
inappropriate seed rate and sowing techniques, late sowing,
lacking plant populace, deficit soils with nutrient and
irrigational water unavailable at basic phases of crop yield,
weed rivalry bringing about the diminishment in the yield of
wheat (Guttieri et al ., 2001). Depending on intensity of
weeds reduction in crop yield from 9.5 to 16.05 percent
occur (Jalis and Muhammad 1980). Commonly weeds
represent expensive and limiting factors in crop production,
posing threshing and harvesting problems (Noorka et al .,
2013). One of the most critical problems is weed in crops
because they contest with crop plants for moisture, light,
space and nutrients (Khan et al., 2001).
To achieve the food demand in the world, As compared
to other food crops wheat grades best consumed and grown
in many countries of the world (Noorka et al ., 2013). Wheat
is the important food grain of Pakistan and being the
essential regimen and inhabits a dominant spot in
agricultural programs. Contribution of wheat is about 2.2 %
to GDP and its value for value added is 10.3 % in
agriculture. Area of wheat sowing increased more than 4.4
% as compared to last year i.e. 8660 to 9039 thousand
hectares. Against the target (FCA) received during 2013-14
which was 25 million tons i.e. wheat production stood at
25.3 million tons during 2013-14, which is 1.2% extra than
the required limit, compared to last year’s production an
encouraging growth of 4.4 percent witnessed over
production of 24.2 million tons. Generally rise in area sown
is ascribed to the striking rates of market and available area
