Question

Discuss the various methods that can be employed for the control of weeds

Answer 1

Weeds are wild plants and creepers that compete with locally grown flora, and absorb nutrients and space meant for them.

 

Weed control attempts to stop such non-local species and prevent them from affecting the growth of native vegetation.

 

The types of weed control are:

 

Preventative weed control, where the aim is to prevent weeds from growing among planted crops.

 

When fields are maintained in such way that weeds cannot take root, it is known as Cultural weed control.

 

In Mechanical weed control, mechanical equipment is used to control weed growth.

 

In Biological weed control, natural enemies of weeds are used to bring down the weed population or control them.

 

When herbicides are used to control or kill weeds, it is referred to as Chemical weed control.
