Abstract: Weeds are generally considered as undesirable & unwanted plants which cause enormous direct & indirect losses. Weeds are a serious problem in agriculture, and by competing with crops for water, minerals, space and light, they significantly reduce the productivity of agricultural tendencies. Under good conditions and abundant soil moisture, weeds also show enhanced potential for growth. The goal of the current research was to determine the antimicrobial capabilities of obnoxious weeds in the central region of Chhattisgarh. The 5 weeds collected were found to have strong smell, spiny leaves and were not edible by the cattle were identified as Cyanthilliumcinereum, Amaranthusspinosus, Croton bonplandianus, Malachracapitata, and Sennaoccidentalis in the region of study.
