Weeds caused nuisance to the crop environment which continue to threaten the productivity of agricultural lands and other areas. Till now the main solution for controlling weed in the crop land is using chemical herbicide which is very costlier and hazardous to the natural ecosystem. As a result of the above said issue many researchers are focusing on improving biological control agents for weed control as it is safe and environmental friendly.
