Weeds act as competition for the same space and nutrients that crops need to grow. If and when weeds are allowed to grow in the field, the farmer will more often than not get lower grain yeilds. In crops where the seed is harvested and sold as a cash crop, this is a serious threat. In crops where the plants are to be chopped up into silage, this is not as big as a threat because the silage is going to be eaten by livestock anyway.

How do pesticides and fertilizers affect your crops?
the weeds are killed, crops don't die, which is alot more economically friendly than taking a fuel burning tractor and driving about a field with a weeder, so organic crops are worse for the environment

What are the weeds grown in wheat crops?
Common weeds that can grow in wheat crops include wild oats, cheatgrass, and henbit, among others. These weeds compete for nutrients, water, and light, potentially diminishing wheat yields. Effective weed management strategies, such as crop rotation and herbicide application, are essential to mitigate their impact. Farmers often monitor fields closely to prevent weed infestations that could affect crop health.

How crop rotation helps in weed control?
Crop rotation helps in weed control by disrupting the life cycles of weeds. By alternating different crops, farmers can prevent weeds from establishing dominance, as various crops require different management practices and growing conditions. This variation can reduce the reliance on herbicides and minimize the chances of weeds developing resistance. Additionally, certain crops can outcompete weeds for resources, further limiting their growth.
How can herbicides improve crop?
Herbicides kill weeds. A selective herbicide will attack specific weeds only and not harm the crop. Weeds grow in farm land (like everywhere else). With the care, such as fertilizer, applied to the crops, the weeds also benefit from it growing and spreading and seeding which will eventually choke out the crops without any herbicide maintenance. Some weeds can grow taller than the crops shaded them to the point that they receive no sunlight and die. Herbicide is part of any farm or nursery for their crop maintenance.
