摘要：
The present study was conducted in Tamil Nadu, India with a broad objective of identifying awareness and adoption behaviour of farmers with regard to newer methods of control of parthenium and to estimate the crop loss due to parthenium infestation. Parthenium was found in garden and rainfed lands and not in wet lands. None of the sample farmers were aware of herbicides for control of parthenium. Manual weeding twice was the normal practice. Crop loss due to heavy infestation was seen up to a maximum of 300 kg of seed cotton per ha. Extra weedings needed to control parthenium, costing $ 50 /ha. Health hazards like dermatitis, allergy, reddening of eyes etc., were reported in highly infested zones of the State due to partheinum pollen grains. Nowadays, agricultural labourers are reluctant to take up parthenium weeding and they demand additional wages when they do.
