The undesirable plants that grow along with the crops are called weeds. The growth of weeds can be controlled by adopting many ways. Tilling before sowing of crops helps in the uprooting and killing of weeds. 
There are several methods to control weeds like :

  • Weeds can be controlled using weedicides. It is a chemical, which is sprayed in the fields to kill all available weeds. Weedicides are not harmful to crops.
  • By mechanical means: Using trowel through the field that will fill up the space between the crop rows and cut/kill the weeds.
  • Manual method: Walking the field and pulling out the weeds.
