Abstract

Increasing densities of Cuscula significantly reduced the seed yields of lentil and chickpea. The losses in seed yield due to increasing densities of Cuscula ranged from 20 to 95% in lentil and 28 to 100% in chickpea, indicating that at the same weed density, chickpea was more susceptible to this weed than lentil.
