For example, a crop that takes a lot of nitrogen can be planted one year, and the next year one that replenishes nitrogen can be planted.

What is biological weed control?
Historically, you sent someone out into your garden or field with a hoe, and they chopped weeds or pulled them out by the roots.

These biological methods are not in common use yet. The biological method to get rid of tomato worms (horn worms), for example, is to pluck them off and stomp on them. Of course, that is pest control, not weeding.
