The present paper deals with some Angiospermic weeds of Petlad taluka. Weeds are known as unwanted plants. Usually weeds grow faster than native plants and successfully compete for the available nutrients, water, space and sunlight. It consists of total 22 families belonging 34 genera and 40 species. The dominant families were Euphorbiaceae with 5 species followed by Asteraceae with 4 species. A list of the Botanical names, Families, Common names, FLS and FRS were given in present paper. Key Words: Petlad taluka, Angiospermic weeds.

Petlad Taluka is situated in Anand district nearby Borasd Taluka. Anand district is situated in the middle of Gujarat state, India. Anand district was established in the year 1997. The district of Anand comprises of 8 Talukas, i.e. Umareth, Petlad, Sojitra, Borsad, Anklav, Khambhat and Tarapur. Its population is about 2,092,745 people. It is located 21 km towards west from district Anand and 100 km far from state capital Gandhinagar towards North. Petlad Taluka is bounded by Borsad Taluka towards South, Sojitra Taluka towards North, Tarapur Taluka towards west, Khambhat Taluka towards south. Such Taluka has 57 villages. Petlad has been a major industrial contributor in the history of Gujarat. Petlad is located at 22o28’ N 72o48’ E / 22.47o N 72.8o E. It has an average elevation of 30 meters (98 feet). Economy depends on farmers from surrounding villages. Total population of Petlad Taluka is 2,87,924 out of these 2,32,594 persons lives in urban and 2,32,5948 lives in rural areas (From Internet (2011)). Plants are to be found everywhere. Man tries to grow only the sort of plants that he wants and the original inhabitants of the soil become useless to him are called as weeds (Sharma and Khandelwal, 2010). Weeds are not desired in arable lands since they compete with crop plants

INTRODUCTION



for nutrients, soil moisture, sunlight and space (Rao, 1983). They have often been given special identity as a fast growing troublesome exotic and noxious plant, in other words known as unwanted plants growing among the normal seasonal crops. This weeds cause great loss to cultivated crops and are responsible for less production since weeds have competition with main crops for water, light and nutrients (Patel Y.B, et al. 2014). There are many Angiospermic weeds growing in Petlad taluka. We observed various families like Papaveraceae, Capparaceae, Portulacaceae, Malvaceae, Tiliaceae, Papilionaceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Asteraceae, etc. during our field trips. Various photographs were taken during our visits. Plates of Angiospermic weeds plants photographs are as under.

Different field trips were arranged and collect the weeds plants. The plants images are in camera and samples were correctly identified by usual taxonomic methods and species names given in the Gujarat as well as Bombay flora.

Total 40 species of Angiospermic weeds belonging to 34 Genera and 22 Families were recorded. Table-1 provides the list of the Plants species [Column-2], Family [Column-3], Local name [Column-4] and FLS & FRS [Column-5].

Assessment of angiosperm weeds of Petlad taluka of Anand District, Gujarat has been studied. A total of 40 angiosperm weed species under 34 genera and 22 families were recorded. All are medicinal plants have been documented with their uses for the cure of more common diseases, and some of these are asthma, cough, constipation, dysentery, diarrhea, diabetes, eczema, fever, headache, itches, jaundice, piles, skin diseases, toothache, wound and others. This information will be helpful for the taxonomists and pharmacognosist for the collection and identification of the plant species for further research work.

Authors are highly thankful to the principal and faculty of Botany department of Smt. S. M. Panchal Science College, Talod for providing necessary facilities to complete this research work.
