Weed and wild plants often possess natural defenses that make them less appealing or accessible to insects and pests. These defenses can include tough leaves, toxic compounds, or strong scents that deter herbivores. Additionally, many wild plants have evolved alongside pests, developing resilience through natural selection. This co-evolution allows them to thrive in diverse environments where cultivated plants may struggle.
Insects can attack crop plants by feeding on leaves, stems, roots, or fruits, which can weaken or kill the plant. They can also transmit diseases to plants, reducing their health and productivity. Additionally, insects like aphids can produce honeydew, which promotes the growth of sooty mold that can further harm plants.
