Abstract:In order to clarify the weed species and community structure of maize fields in Jilin Province, the inverted “W” nine-point sampling method was used to investigate the weeds in cornfields in various areas of the province, and species diversity analysis and cluster analysis were performed. The results showed that 64 species of weeds were found in the cornfields of Jilin Province, belonging to 18 families and 50 genera, among which the grasses were the most numerous, with 11 genera and 17 species. Echinochloa, Digitaria sanguinalis, Setaria viridis, Abutilon theophrasti Medicus, Chenopodium album, Eriochloa villosa and Persicaria lapathifolia were the dominant weeds in the maize fields of Jilin Province, and there were 6 regional dominant weeds, 10 common weeds and 26 general weeds. According to the analysis of richness index, Shannon index, Simpson index and evenness index, it was found that the weed richness and evenness index were highest in Changchun area, and the lowest was in Baicheng area;the diversity of weed community was the highest in central Jilin, and the species dominance concentration was the highest in western Jilin area. Cluster analysis revealed that the weed community structure in cornfields was closely related to geographic location, climatic environment, cropping pattern, and other factors.
