It can also cause environmental and socioeconomic impacts in different ways. In order to understand these impacts, this study was carried out between 2018-2019 in a fruit nursery field which is in the centre of Duzce province and produces certified seedlings. According to the results, 68 weed species (herbaceous / shrub) from 29 families were determined. The identified taxon were represented by Poaceae with 11 taxa and Asteraceae with 10 taxa, followed by Brassicaceae (6 taxa) and Fabaceae (5), respectively. While the majority of species are annual (34 species) and perennial (22), one taxa has biennial and 11 species have common life time. In terms of life form, 67 taxon are herbaceous and only one taxa (Rubus sp.) have shrub structure. The environmental and socioeconomic impacts caused by the identified species were evaluated as positive and negative impacts and the highest impact type was determined in 44 taxa which are included in the scope of environmental and socioeconomic impact. The results can be used to develop the necessary measures and control programs to reduce the negative impacts of weeds in nursery areas. In addition, it can provide awareness to preserve positive impacts and biodiversity.tr10.33462/jotaf.578999info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWeedimpactnurseryDuzceawarenessArticle163389401N/A
