Weed control measures and botanical names of weeds
There are several methods used in weed control. They can BE classified into:
(a) Mechanical or physical method of weed control.
(b) Cultural method.
(c) Biological method of weed control.
(d) Chemical method of weed control.
(a) Mechanical or physical method of weed control
(i) Hand pulling: 1 This is the pulling of weeds by hand in the farm. Though it is efficient, but only useful in small gardens and not large farms WEEDS CONTROL METHODS (ii) Hoeing: The short or small hoe is very useful in weeding. It is used to cut the weed below the crown of the plant which gives, complete destruction of the shoot system. It is effective in the control of weeds either in pasture, home garden or row crops.
Hoe can be used to weed from the furrow to the top of a ridge. Its use is however on a limited and it requires plenty of labour.

(i) Use of suppressive plants: Crops that grow fast and large too can be used to overshadow weeds thereby reducing their growth, Also, cover crops such as melon and legumes like groundnut can be used to control weeds on the farm.
