Plant weeds are unwanted and invasive plants that compete with cultivated crops for nutrients, sunlight, and water in agricultural fields. These resilient and often fast-growing plants can hinder crop growth, reduce yields, and impact overall farm productivity. Effective weed management is crucial in agriculture to ensure the optimal health and growth of crops.
Farmers employ various strategies to control weeds, including mechanical methods like plowing and cultivation, as well as chemical methods using herbicides. Integrated Weed Management (IWM) approaches combine multiple techniques to achieve sustainable and environmentally friendly weed control.
