Weeds compete with crops for resources, reducing yield and quality. Studying weed ecology helps us understand their life cycles, competitive strategies, and adaptation mechanisms. Effective weed management strategies, such as crop rotation, mechanical cultivation, and the use of herbicides, are crucial for minimizing weed pressure and maintaining crop productivity. This book examines the ecological aspects of weeds and offers insights into effective management strategies to mitigate their negative impact on crop production.
