As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia. It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production , after sugarcane and maize.

Unmilled rice, known as "paddy", is usually harvested when the grains have a moisture content of around 25%. Rice is the most important crop in Asia, for example, 90% of the total agricultural area is used for rice production. Rice is the most important human food crop in the world, directly feeding more people than any other crop. It is also the staple food across Asia where around half of the world's poorest people live and is becoming increasingly important in whole world

Weeds do enormous damage to the rice crop. They directly deplete the soil nutrients and moisture and compete with crop plants for light and space thus, reduce the crop yields. Indirectly, they cause damage to the crops harbouring pests and disease agents.

Like other agricultural and horticultural crops, rice also needs optimum agronomic care for a high and sustained productivity. Among the critical factors limiting optimum productivit y from hunter plantations, weeds are counted as one in the top of the list.
