Disadvantages Of Weed Infestation

People should pay attention to the controversy about marijuana. Marijuana may not kill in a situation such as an automobile accident. In this paper it talks about the risks and benefits of using marijuana. Suicide, mental disorders, and worse depression can be bigger risks of using marijuana. All together marijuana can be less dangerous than other things such as alcohol and other drugs The medical benefits of marijuana are very helpful. Marijuana can relieve the pain of AIDs, multiple sclerosis, and the pain of heavy chemotherapy. It relieves the pain of glaucoma on the eye. Prohibition is similar to the controversy about marijuana. Many wanted alcohol outlawed just like marijuana. Even though alcohol was prohibited there were

This area must be properly treated and restored to its original fertility. In other way The government has given high incentive especially in the form of heavy subsidy for using chemical fertilizers. There was practically no use of chemical fertilizers at the time of Independence As a result of initiative by the government and due to change in the attitude of some progressive farmers, the consumption of fertilizers increased tremendously. Pests, germs and weeds cause heavy loss to crops which amounted to about one third of the total field produce at the time of Independence. Biocides (pesticides, herbicides and weedicides) are used to save the crops and to avoid losses. The increased use of these inputs has saved a lot of crops, especially the food crops from unnecessary wastage. But indiscriminate use of biocides has resulted in wide spread environmental pollution which takes its own

There are not many workers to cut acres full weeds to make the farm look organized. So to fix the solution, farmers use chemicals to kill the weeds. This solution makes it easier for the farmers to use because the process is fast. Another problem is that there are pest such as rats, birds, and other creatures that ruins farmers product. Pest tends to enter the farm and eat the products and will come back for more. Pest can also enter the farm and ruin the farm. Killing or removing the pest is the only way to fix the solution. But removing one by one is difficult. Using chemical to remove all the pest is the best way. Same method goes to removing all the insects and bugs. Insects and bugs are feeding on vegetables and fruits. Insect and bugs can ruin vegetable and fruits because when they are feeding on the product they tend to ruin the quality of the product. No one is going to buy a lettuce that is eaten by insects or fruits that has black spots. This causes the increases of all the products from being

I don’t think that this will be very good for our environment. All of those chemicals are also dangerous for humans and animals. Consequently, the weeds will eventually grow resistance to these chemicals too. This is why we need to find another way to prevent weed infestations safely. There are multiple ways to prevent weeds such as, corn starch based film or paper mulch to help prevent weeds from growing. Another way is called cover cropping, this is a method where farmers grow other crops in between the rows such a clover and alfalfa that become living mulch and recycle nutrients back into the soil as they

A farmer grows these soybeans which then only require one application of weed killer instead of multiple applications, reducing production cost and limiting the dangers of agricultural waste.

Weeds are generally controlled best through good preplant soil preparation. Using a cover crop will not only add valuable organic matter to increase soil tilth, but many cover crops will also outcompete or suppress weeds. Cereal rye, for example, can provide significant weed control through smothering and suppression from natural herbicides produced by the rye. Other cover crops, such as hairy vetch, will add significant nitrogen to the soil and attract many beneficial insects as well. These cover crops are traditionally planted the prior year and are tilled under prior to planting your flower crop.

Farmers have relied more and more on chemicals that are very effective in suppressing weeds.

The common methods used to manage weeds include prevention and cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical means. Herbicides can be defined as crop- protecting chemicals used to kill weedy plants or interrupt normal plant growth. Herbicides provide a convenient, economical, and effective way to help manage weeds. They allow fields to be planted with less tillage, allow earlier planting dates, and provide additional time to perform the other tasks that farm or personal life require. Due to reduced tillage, soil erosion has been reduced from about 3.5 billion tons in 1938 to one billion tons in 1997, thus reducing soil from entering waterways and decreasing the quality of the nation’s surface water. Without herbicide use, no-till agriculture becomes impossible. However, herbicide use also carries risks that include environmental, ecological, and human health effects. It is important to understand both the benefits and disadvantages associated with chemical weed control before selecting the appropriate

He creates an interesting view on how weeds across the United States are becoming more resistant to glyphosates and other conventional herbicides. The evolutionary process of super weeds is also discussed and why the process has happened so quickly. Since the purpose of the article is to detail the emergence of super weeds it is unbiased for the most part. However, based upon the negative portrayal of farmers choice to use glyphosates as a quick and easy weed killer, it appears to hold some bias towards herbicides, their users, and their producers. This piece is written in an easily understandable manner and would be suitable for almost any reader. It will be beneficial to use this document since it gives a general explanation of the effects glyphosates have on plants and how herbicide resistant weeds are harming the agricultural

When going to war one should always weigh the cost and benefits of the conflict in all its terms from loss of land and resources to death and morality. Extra care should be taken when this war is to be waged against creation, human beings themselves are of this earth. Ever since the beginning people have purposely and passively influenced nature. Now we are a powerhouse of a species spralling from sea to shining sea and our impact creates larger and larger causatums. If we are not careful this new war on weeds could help create the wave that capsulizes our species. A holistic approach to ecological management is the best way to manage weeds for a healthy ecosystem and sustainable future.

First, my experiment provides an organic, non-chemical weed killer, that people may use. Using an organic weed killer does not pose a large threat as compared to a chemical weed killer. The chemical weed killer would affect the soil, nutrients, and the water underground in a very harmful way. On the other hand, the Bay Laurel weed killer does not pose such a large threat because of the fact that the organic weed killer itself is a plant. There is also a price difference, chemical weed killer costs about $15-30. In contrast, the Bay Laurel weed killer requires plain tap water and Bay Laurel leaves. Another advantage of an organic weed killer is that it does not affect the human health as greatly as the chemical weed killers. For example, if chemicals come in contact with the skin, it may cause irritation and even a rash. However, Bay Laurel has a distinct, soothing fragrance. The only time to be concerned is when the Bay Laurel has been eaten, due to the fact that it can destroy internal organs. Even though it might take more time and effort than a chemical weed killer, it is worth it to save our environment and the

One concern about pesticides and herbicide usage is the amount of residues left on the end product of crops sprayed with the chemicals, and their effects on human health. (Williamson, 2007, p. 184). However, these effects are closely tested and levels are strictly regulated to ensure there is no danger from possible pesticide residues. Since 1910, many rules, regulations, and agencies have been formed to monitor the safety of the pesticides and herbicides used in conventional farming. These chemicals must meet specific safety standards in order to be registered for use, and regulations on levels of each product safe for use are also put in place. (Tafel et al.,2007, p.184). All pesticides are rigorously examined to ensure they have no significant effects on human health, or the environment. The residues in the food chain are closely monitored, and regularly tested, to ensure they are below legal limits. In a recent survey of residues

Many varieties of genetically engineered crops have been designed to decrease the need for chemicals, particularly pesticides. Herbicide-tolerant varieties are among the most widely used type of genetically-modified crop, which enables farmers to use a single herbicide to eradicate weeds rather than rely on a cocktail of pesticides and herbicides. Eliminating weeds in this fashion also decreases the need for soil tillage, which can negatively impact soil ecology. (Ford,

Companies and researchers alternate the genetic structure of crops to withstand pesticides, non-GM weeds and insects can gradually develop a resistance to the chemicals. At this point farmers actually have to increase their use of pesticides. These practice causes weed populations to adapt to the herbicide and eventually become resistant to it. Once these superweeds emerge farmers must find a new herbicides and more potent products.

Anyone who has ever used a weed eater with a cord will definitely appreciate the Black & Decker LST136W 40V Max Lithium String Trimmer. The days of getting tangled in the cord and getting frustrated with continually stepping around the cord are over. Who likes the headache of winding the extension cord up each and every time you have to trim the lawn? Think of how much time and energy is wasted just trying to deal with this extra task. Wouldn’t it be nice to just grab your weed eater and go to work?
