Once the weeds are dead, they are no longer competing for the soil nutrients against the crops. Hence, the crops grow more vigorously. Sometimes, this only needs to be done when the crops are young - once they have attained a certain size, they automatically screen the soil surface from sunlight, preventing new weeds from growing. Farmers of old called that a crop that was "laid by" (needed no more attention until harvest).
