Abstract Weeds are common and notorious plants which are sometimes more harmful than fungi, virus, bacteria, insects or crop pests. Among the major biotic factors, weeds are considered as the most noxious to agriculture besides affecting natural water bodies and agrobiodiversity. It also disturb the crop production directly and indirectly, by competing with the crop for sheltering crop pests, resources, interfering with water management, reducing the quality and yield, and subsequently increasing the cost of processing. A survey of Sakti district, Chhattisgarh was conducted for the collection of weed plants. Here we surveyed and collected weed plants from different sites of grassland, roadsides, nurseries, gardens, crop field and bare lands. The diversity of weed in Sakti is practically unknown and therefore, it represents an unknown part of global weed diversity. Weed species recognition was done on the basis of book, monographs and literature survey. The survey was conducted during the month of September, October and November. We come through unique weed diversity, in total we collected thirty eight weed species representing nineteen families of which maximum weed species is collected from Asteraceae family. Total 38 weed species were collected of 19 plant families, maximum weed species is from Asteraceae family with 7 plant species, 6 from Poaceae family, 4 from Amaranthaceae and Cyperaceae family, 2 from Euphorbiaceae and Fabaceae family, and 1 each from Aizoaceae, Apocynaceae, Cleomaceae, Commelinaceae, Lamiales, Linderniaceae, Malvaceae, Onagraceae, Papaveraceae, Phyllanthaceae, Polygonaceae, Rubiaceae and Verbenaceae family.
