Controlling weeds is essential to protect both agricultural productivity and biodiversity. Weeds aggressively compete with crops, pastures, and native plants for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Left unmanaged, they can:
- reduce agricultural yields
- harbour pests and viral diseases
- contaminate harvests and pose toxicity risks to livestock
- form dense monocultures that destroy natural habitats
- decrease biodiversity and push native wildlife and species toward extinction.
Research your control options thoroughly and make a weed management plan to get started.
