Answer 2

Answer:

The incorrect statement is:

Weeding is the process of growing weed

Explanation:

1. Weeds are characterised as undesirable plants that grow in crop fields alongside the primary crop.

2. They are fierce rivals for crops who consistently win. Their prodigious seed production, rapid population growth, and adaptability traits make them fierce rivals and aid in their survival.

3. The following are typical weed examples: grass, algae, amaranthus, and chenopodium.

4. For the vital ingredients that crops need, weeds compete. They fight for available nutrients, water, light, and space. They lessen the yield and occasionally they can serve as disease reservoirs.

There are various methods of weeding:

(a) Cultivation and Hand Pulling: -

This is a reference to the manual clearing of weeds. The task can be completed with specific tools, such a shovel.

(b) Use of herbicides: -

Herbicides used prior to weed emergence stop weed development. After putting down annual or perennial plants, it is applied to the ground's surface. For the treatment to be successful, the plant must be in a growing stage.

(c) Mulches: -

Mulches are placed on the garden to block the sun from reaching weed seeds, which inhibits the growth of weeds.
