Abstract:
The occurrence of Compositae weed species in Cola nitida, Eleais guineensis and Theobroma cacao plantations in Ekiti State, Nigeria was examined. Results obtained revealed that the compositae weeds constituted 73, 89 and 75% of the total number of weeds individuals sampled in the Cola nitida, Eleais guineensis and Theobroma cacao plantations respectively. The germination test conducted on the soil samples obtained from the three plantations also confirmed the dominance of the compositae weeds, in terms of density, in the soil seed bank of the commercial plantations. The percent compositions of compositae in the three plantations were 77, 76 and 77%, respectively.
