Answer:
Removal of weeds
Explanation:
Weeds are defined as the unwanted plants in crop fields which grow along with the main crop. They are strong and dominating competitors for crops. Their copious seed production, quick population establishment, and adaptation characteristics make them tough competitors and help in their survival. Common examples of weeds are grass, algae, Amaranthus, Chenopodium.
Weeds compete for essential components required by crops and the demand increases as per growth. They compete for light, water, nutrients, and space. They reduce the yield and manipulate the quality of the product. Sometimes they are sources of diseases as well.
Types of Weeding
There are different types of weeding:
Hand Pulling and Cultivation
This refers to the process of weed removal by hands. Certain tools such as a shovel can be used for the task.
Pre-emergent herbicides
Pre-emergent herbicides prevent the growth of weeds. It is applied to the surface of the ground after planting perennial or annual plants. The plant should be in an active growth stage for effective results.
Mulches
Mulches are spread on the garden to restrict the access of the sun to the weed seeds, thereby, preventing the growth of the weeds.
