Abstract
This study surveyed 102 jackfruit growers in Vinh Long province to assess cultivation practices, weed perception, and management strategies. Most farmers had less than five years of experience (86.88%) and cultivated primarily Thai (49.21%) and Red-fleshed (38.10%) jackfruit varieties. A double-row planting system with 2-3 m spacing was the most common (53.23%), optimizing land use but requiring skilled care. Weed management remains a concern: 48.39% of farmers perceived weed impacts as minor, indicating limited awareness of their potential effects on yield and fruit quality. Nevertheless, some farmers utilized weeds for soil improvement (48%), organic composting (47%), or livestock feed (3%). A total of 20 weed species were identified, with Fimbristylis miliacea (74.19%), Commelina communis (69.35%), Lophatherum gracile (58.06%), and Leptochloa chinensis (33.87%) being most prevalent. These species compete for nutrients, light, and act as hosts for pests, negatively affecting yield and fruit quality (Chauhan & Johnson, 2011; Schaedler et al., 2013). Therefore, enhancing farmer awareness and adopting integrated weed management strategies is essential for sustaining long-term jackfruit production systems.
