Ecological Survey Of Weed Species (Herbs And Shrubs) Found In Federal College Education (Technical) Gombe

ABSTRACT

Studies of weed species found in found in federal college education (technical) were carried out using quadrant method, plant press was used for identification outside the field. The dominant among the weed families were Amarantaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Sterculaceae, Papilionoideae, and Malvaceae.
