This review examines the diverse impacts of weed pollen, focusing on allergenic properties, health risks, and effects on domestic animals. Weeds, such as ragweed, mugwort, feverfew, and plantain, are known to produce potent allergens that contribute to various allergic conditions in humans, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, and contact dermatitis. The review discusses major allergenic proteins found in weed pollen, including pectate lyases, defensin-like proteins, Ole e 1-like proteins, and non-specific lipid transfer proteins, as well as panallergens such as profilins and calcium-binding proteins that cause cross-reactivity among sensitized individuals. Additionally, it highlights the health risks associated with inhaling or ingesting pollen contaminated with toxic compounds. These risks include respiratory distress, food poisoning, and adverse effects on livestock, such as reduced feed intake and weight loss. The review underscores the significance of understanding the allergenic and toxic properties of weed pollen and their impact on human health and livestock.","PeriodicalId":13467,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF WEED SCIENCE","volume":"57 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was significant reduction in the absolute density of grasses and broad-leaed weeds in finger millet due to weed management. Manual weeding at 15 and 30 DAS resulted in the lowest weed biomass at 40 DAS, however at 60 DAS, pre-emergence (PE) pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 20 g/ha fb wheel hoe weeding (WHW) at 25 DAS recorded the lowest weed biomass (32.40 g/m 2 ). Weed control efficiency also followed the same trend as that of weed biomass. Pre-emergence application of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 20 g/ha fb WHW at 25 DAS resulted in the highest weed control efficiency (91.8 %). Uncontrolled weed growth resulted in a yield loss of 53.88%. The lowest weed index was noted in PE pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 20 g/ha fb WHW at 25 DAS. Among the treatments, PE pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 20 g/ha fb WHW at 25 DAS recorded the highest productive tillers (93.3 no./m 2 ), fingers per ear head (13.3 no.) and ear head weight (12.8 g). This treatment also resulted in the highest grain yield (2072.2 kg/ha) which was statistically at par with PE pyrazosulfuron 20 g/ha fb penoxsulam + cyhalofop-butyl 125 g/ha at 25 DAS (1931.5 kg/ha). The net return (40974 /ha) and B: C ratio (1.98) were also highest in PE pyrazosulfuron 20 g/ha fb WHW at 25 DAS.","PeriodicalId":13467,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF WEED SCIENCE","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135801031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
