Weed control is still a major issue in modern agriculture in India, despite the development of several tools for weed eradication. The exploration on fungal plant pathogens as weed biocontrol agents have been increased as alternative method to chemical control. Trianthema portulacastrum L. was found as a noxious weed plant in many agricultural crops of India and many tropical and sub-tropical countries. The weed abundance was studied in various crop fields to understand the adverse effects of the weed. Simultaneously the epidemic investigation was accomplished to identify the natural enemies of the weed. To understand the significance of mycoherbicides, a critical review on weed management with special reference to biological control of horse purslane weed was attempted.
