In a field, many other undesirable plants may grow naturally along with the crop. These undesirable plants are called weeds. They compete with crops for nutrients which affects the growth and productivity of the plant. These can also cause crop toxification.

We can control them by the following steps:

(i) Chemical like weedicides is sprayed in the fields to control the weeds.

(ii) Manual removal by uprooting or cutting them close to the ground with the help of khurpi.
