Abstract
It is an established fact that weeds inflict heavy losses and this situation demands immediate measures to overcome the damage done by weeds in terms of quality and production of wheat. The weeds can be eliminated by traditional methods but these are time consuming and laborious and do not guarantee complete elimination of weeds in a short span of time as do the chemicals. A number of private agencies have, therefore, presented their products in the market for the said purpose, but their use is not simple and thus demands proper education and technical knowledge. In order to determine the impact of education on the adoption of weedicides of wheat crop, the study was conducted in Gojra Tehsil. The data were collected from 150 farmers drawn at random from 10 randomly selected villages. The interview schedule was the main instrument for data collection. The analysis of data revealed that education had significant relationship with the adoption and application of almost all the important weedicides.
