This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of herbicidal strategies for weed control in DDSR systems specifically tailored to Nepal’s central mid-hill region. We discuss the prevalent weed species in DDSR fields and their ecological characteristics, emphasizing the importance of integrated weed management approaches. Furthermore, the efficacy, selectivity, and environmental impacts of various herbicides commonly used in DDSR, considering factors such as application timing, dosage, and formulation is reviewed under this paper. Additionally, the role of cultural practices, such as crop rotation, residue management, and intercropping, in augmenting the effectiveness of herbicidal weed control strategies are also studied under the topic. By synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying research gaps, this review aims to inform policymakers, agronomists, and farmers about the most suitable herbicidal strategies for sustainable weed management in DDSR systems in Nepal’s central mid-hill region. This review thoroughly assesses different chemical weed control methods and their suitability, effectiveness, and long-term viability in this particular situation
