Abstract

Of the most important world serious problems is food scarcity, so crop production will compensate such as increasing need. In addition to global crop production damage, weeds are of the main constraints. They can also endanger bio-diversity, human and cattle health, marine ecosystems, pastures, and also health of living organisms, which makes herbicides’ application as inevitable method of weed management. Herbicides not only lead to considerable increase in crops' yield, but also are having side effects including pollution of underground waters, residue in food stuff, foliage, and also non-target organisms, as well as weed resistance. Wheat is the most important crop globally, but weeds can lead to its yield loss, which in turn necessitate herbicides’ application that results in different side effects on crops. The current work discusses the application of different herbicides and their effects on wheat.
