Abstract

Seedling morphological traits of 74 dicotyledonous weeds of 64 genera under 30 families of angiosperms are studied in the crop fields of two subdivisions i.e. Barrackpur and Barasat in the district of North 24-Parganas of West Bengal. Conservative juvenile traits are considered for artificial key formation which is helpful for identification of weeds before flowering and fruiting. It is crucial for weed management program. All 74 seedling species are categorized into six seedling types based on nature, phyllotaxy and stipule of first two leaves. The families are arranged according to Takhtajan’s system of classification (1997). This study also promotes importance of seedling features in determining inter-relationships among the taxa studied through PCA analysis. The seedling taxonomy is correlated with other botanical disciplines partly.
