weed
wēd/
noun: weed; plural noun: weeds
1.
a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants.
There are two keywords in that definition: “not wanted”. Weeds are major nuisances and there really is no convenient or easy way to [permanently] get rid of them; however, it’s very important that you try, and here’s why:
1. They rob your soil and your plants of important nutrients, water, and sunshine, which can reduce the survival and growth of plants.
2. Some weeds release chemicals from their roots that are harmful to surrounding plants.
3. They can directly reduce profits by hindering harvest operations and lower crop and plant quality.
4. They may harbor insects and diseases and produce seed or rootstocks, which infest the field/garden and future crops and plants.
5. Weeds can be poisonous, distasteful, and physically harmful.
6. They provide hiding places for insects and serve as a source of vegetable diseases.
7. And finally, they can kill a gardener and farmer’s enthusiasm.
