dc.description.abstractWheat is widely grown in Turkey in the winter season, generally and weeds have been problem in production. Changes in agricultural practices such as increasing mechanization, changing cropping systems and widely use of herbicides and fertilizers has been causing some changes in weed flora in wheat fields from past to present. A contemporary weed survey was done in 2014 in the wheat fields of Sanliurfa province, which dominate the production of Southeastern region and results were compared with a former survey done in 1967 in the same region. As a result of the comparison, flora has been notably changed; the number of weed species declined from 221 to 71 which means more than threefold diversity loss. In addition, species common over 50% of fields declined dramatically and some foremost species in the past were not recorded contemporary studies whereas some are recorded later. General density of weeds slightly increased in time with a volunteer crop (lentil) in 2014, however, without volunteer crop, the density also declined by about half. Similarly, the density and frequency of dominant species decreased markedly from past to present except some exceptions. The most important reasons for this change are increased use of herbicides and the change of the regional alternation system. It should be noted that biodiversity loss is lower than comparing to the developed world and there is a chance to conserve this through employing sustainable methods. Furthermore, problems related to weed identification were discussed using data from these surveys.en_US
