Various Weed Control Methods – An Analysis

Abstract

As the world's population continues to grow and food consumption rises, the agricultural industry will have a very difficult time fulfilling future demands. The growth of undesirable plants, or weeds, alongside crops is one of the most important problems in agriculture. Weeds increase agricultural costs and inhibit productivity. It necessitates using more water to irrigate the land. They somehow reduce the value of the food or raise the expense of cleaning. Some weeds (Cleome viscosa), which dairy cows consume, cause the milk to smell bad. Crops and weeds compete for nutrients, space, sunshine, and water. They also harbour viruses and insects that are harmful to agricultural plants. Additionally, they harm local animals and plants by destroying their natural habitats. As a result, these weeds must be removed in a timely manner to ensure the health of the crops. This report discussed some of the weed control approaches.
