Claiming near-surface root systems, perfecting many reproductive methods, preference for disturbed sites, and tolerance of environmental stress are reasons why weeds spread quicker than edible and ornamental plants. Weeds have the advantage in fast-growing roots, multiple reproductions (rhizomes, seeds, stolons), and survival in and under extreme, severe ambient conditions (cold, drought, flood, heat).

What are the advantages of weeds?
An ability to settle quickly in, take over and spread throughout a space are advantages of weeds. Weeds seed and settle in just as quickly as they can be uprooted. In equally quick fashion, they take over a space. They do so through their ability to survive in harsh conditions that cripple or kill other plants. And in similarly quick ways, they spread from the space in which they start to just about every space that they can spread their roots and their seeds into.

Does drugs affect plant growth?
Weeds affect plant growth because they are often invasive and can take over quickly the space needed by plants to develop properly. Weeds also can deprive plants of important nutrients that can cause plants to be weak and susceptible to disease or infestations.
Can plants steal other plants nutrients?
Yes. Weeds are often better at getting nutrients than the garden plants we want to grow.
What grows in thin areas most other plants cannot and are normally pioneer species?
weeds
What are the effects of Genetically modified organism?
This could reduce the effects herbicides have on plants because different insects, diseases and weeds could become resistant to these herbicides. People also fear that these modified genes would spread to other plants and/or animals accidentally, and possibly make people ill in some form or other when they are eaten in their different states. These plants could also spread to areas where wildlife habitat is protected, and spread so fast that it would choke and push out other native plant species, and subsequently wildlife species, endangering the wild habitat.
What are the Adaptations of weeds in the tropics?
Deep tap roots to compete with the other plants for nutrients is one of the adaptation of the weeds in the tropics. The other adaptation is its creeping characteristic which makes it cover large ground.
What are the effect of weed on crop and animals?
because plants need light and space to be able to grow if there are weeds there then there is no space and they steal all the light, they can effectively choke a plant to death i they are so riddled with weeds. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients from the soil. Weeds in a maize crop would take nutrients the maize needs.
