    Abstract: Vernonia is a new industrial biofuel crop, which is potentially grown for its seed oil. However, its production has been greatly challenged by diverse constraints like abiotic and biotic (Diseases, insect pests, and weed) factors. The weed effect is one of the important limiting factors for crop growth and productivity in agricultural crop producti... Show More
