Abstract

Digital herbarium database includes virtual images of plant specimens in digital format. This form of digital database herbarium is quite different from the traditional herbarium. In this form, the herbarium data is stored and made available to the taxonomists electronically. Weeds are self-grown plants which occur in gardens, fields, agricultural lands, roadsides, moist and water logged places. They are self-grown unwanted plants which grow out of place and time. Presence of weeds creates many problems like decreased crop production, reduced crop quality, loss of animal products, loss of animal health, harmful effect on human health, adverse effect on industrial areas, aquatic ecosystem etc. Present study is based on taxonomic enumeration of weeds in Digras tahasil of Yavatmal district.

Keywords:Digital herbarium database, weeds, Digras, Yavatmal.
