Solution

Weeds:

  1. Weeds are unwanted, persistent, harmful plants that impede the growth of other crop plants and negatively impact human activities, agricultural production, natural phenomena, and the national economy.
  2. Undesirable weeds are plants that grow alongside the main plants.

Ways to control weeds:

  1. Weedicides, which are sprayed in fields to kill all weeds, can be used to control them.
  2. Tilling before planting crops also aids in the removal of weeds.
  3. Weeds are removed manually with a kauri, which entails regular uprooting or cutting of weeds close to the ground.
