Discuss various methods for weed control.

Answers (1)

In the cultivated field of farms some undesired plants species grow along with desired crops. These, undesired plants are called weeds. These weeds use resources like space, water, light and nutrients of the crops. The weeds suppress the growth of crops by causing low availability of nutrients. Enormous growth of weeds could kill the plants in the field before they grow.

Various methods which can be used for weed control are:

  1. One of the effective ways to control weed is having a crop competition. A fast-growing crop will be extremely competitive and dominate the weed on the farm.
  2. Crop rotation can provide the farmer with a balanced organic system leading to the break in cycles of weed.
  3. The farmers can use high quality clean seeds to avoid the introduction of weeds on the farmland.
  4. Removing the weed mechanically.
  5. Proper tillage of farm leads to a better seed bed and helps in eliminating potential weed.
