Abstract

Weeds in the crop field were found to be a major concern. Weeds engage in competition with the primary crop for essential resources such as nutrients, water, space, and sunlight. Utilizing the nutrients that are given to the primary crop, weeds can occasionally completely overtake it. Some weeds are extremely poisonous and dangerous to both people and animals. Herbicide use to manage weeds clearly shows that it has a adverse effect on the ecosystem, water quality, and soil quality. Studies conducted in the field of weeds clearly show this. Furthermore, weeds become resistant to a herbicide when it is used consistently. Numerous techniques, such as mechanical, cultural, chemical, and biological ones, can be used to control weeds. But the application of several herbicides in chemical. control is now so pervasive. Chemical fertilizers should not be used excessively as this lower’s environmental quality and damages soil health. As a result, a brand-new strategy known as Integrated Weed Management (IWM) was developed, in which all existing strategies are combined to cut down on the use of herbicides alone.
