Phalaris minor is one of the important weed of winter cereal crops. It is very competitive weed of wheat crop. There are different management approaches for control of Phalaris minor like hand weeding, mechanical weeding, integrated method of weed management. This review is about chemical or herbicides control of Phalaris minor. It can cause 95% of yield loss in wheat crop. Since manual control of Phalaris minor is difficult because it is mimicry with wheat plant until flowering and other method required more time and labour, therefore for the immediate control of Phalaris minor use of herbicides is an opportunity to effectively control canarygrass with the choosing a broad span of herbicides which helps in effective management of P. minor and its resistant populations.
