what are weed ? how can we control them?
Answers
Answer:
The undesirable plants that grow along with the crops are called weeds. These weeds, feed on the nutrients provided to the crops and thus reduce the supply of nutrients to the crops, thereby, hindering their growth. The growth of these weeds needs to be limited in order to enhance the growth of the plants.

Soln: The unwanted plants that grow by their own in the cultivating fields and compete with required crops for food, light, space and essential nutrients present in the soil are called weeds. For example, Parthenium (gajar ghas), Cyperinus rotundus (motha).
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. Tilling before sowing of crops also helps in removing weeds: Tilling uproots the weeds.
