The Worst Weed In The World

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

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.

. How is sinsemilla grown, and why is its potency so much higher than that of commercial grade marijuana? Sinsemilla is considered the most potent type of marijuana on the illicit market (Lyman, 2014). Because of this reason, it is no surprise that it also brings the most revenue for drug traffickers. It is produced from unfertilized female cannabis plants in a growing area where the male cannabis plants are removed before pollination (Lyman, 2014)). As a result of marijuana being produced this way, I allows more flowers and resin. This is done as an attempt to attract male pollen. The reason this is done is because it is the resin and flowers that actually contain the most amounts of THC. The more THC that is contained, the more potent the marijuana is, thus making sinsemilla the most potent type of marijuana (Lyman, 2014). In the United States, Cannabis Indicia is grown. It is a high-grade strain of sinsemilla. This particular cannabis originated and was later imported to the United States from Afghanistan. It is also popular because it grows into a short, squatty plant that produces 1-2 pounds of buds per plant (Lyman, 2014). These buds contain high levels of THC and generally take 4-5 months to mature. Sinsemilla is more difficult to grow. This is because it requires more personal attention and takes longer time to cultivate. It is usually produced in doors so the growers can harvest all year. Growers use techniques such as cloning and hydroponics. Cloning involves

Concerns about crop resistance to Pesticides and Herbicides: • Critics fear that continual use of chemicals could result in “super weeds” and “super bugs”.

Pesticides are used to illuminate unwanted insects and (as the named suggests) parasites that may harm the seeds, as well as the crops. Companies and the Ling farm trying to get rid of fatal insects, whereas they try to their best not to harm the valuable ones such as bees, and flies because those insects and even small mammals indeed support the pollination which is crucial for a successful harvest. Herbicides are commonly used to erase different types/ species of plants that may interfere with the

Everyday people all over the world try to improve the qualities of their lives. Nonetheless, they forget that what they do can have severe harms and damages on the environment and other organisms. In the excerpt “A Fable for Tomorrow” from the book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson describes the disastrous

There are various means of training weeds control landscaping. They've been developed for a long time and also have attained a level at which they could be managed with the much less challenges achievable and also at the most lucrative extent; probably the most wide spread approaches of weeds control

I. Idaho has an imposter that takes a form of a dandelion and is known to be aggressive and takes more nutrients form the ground then other plants, this plant takes flight to spread its seeds and invades farms ruining crop, if not properly taken care of and controlled coming from

Looking back at the history of past civilizations one of the Farmers have relied more and more on chemicals that are very effective in suppressing weeds.

To investigate and comparison the interference and Non-interference weeds on Alfalfa, this experiment, was conducted using a randomized complete block design in a three and four-year field of alfalfa. The study was conducted during two growing seasons of the spring and summer of 2012 and 2013, respectively. The experimental treatments were weed interference and non-interference (hand weeding and non-hand weeding) and plant density in four levels (20, 40, 60 and 80 stems per square meter). The desired alfalfa was planted in Sept. 25, 2011 with the required densities. Considering that all sampling and research design were conducted in the third growth year of alfalfa, so required stem density per unit area was imposed to specified number by the clipper after alfalfa growing at the beginning of spring 2012. Each plot consisted of ten rows with

Pesticides, Fungicides, and Herbicides; Are they Worth the Price? A bright red juicy tomato, a golden yellow, sweet ear of corn, a dense robust potato, and a shiny bright red apple have more in common than just being fruits and vegetables; they nourish the world? Or, are they slowly killing people? In this present time, most types of vegetation are treated with herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides to some degree. In regard to whether or not this exposure is harmful to humans or not is a question that is going to be explored within this paper. Do the benefits of using pesticides and herbicides in agriculture outweigh their potential harmful effects on human health?

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

Despite being customized to be resistant to pests, it is shown in the report of the United States Department of Agriculture that herbicide usage on genetically modified plants has been increasing significantly over the years (Benbrook , 2004). Benbrook (2009) states that such an increase usage in herbicide is driven by the occurrence of herbicide-resistant weeds. If the genetically modified plants are to be sprayed vigorously with more

Weed infestation has been known to cause substantial reductions in crop yields thereby obstructing sustainable agriculture (Ayeni et al., 2013). Weed competition was identified by Mbanje et al. (2001) as the most important factor for yield reduction in both commercial and communal farming in Zimbabwe. Weeds threat had forced farmers to use synthetic herbicides which have detrimental effects on the environment. Synthetic herbicides are also expensive and are not readily available for communal farmers’ use. Chemical and mechanical weed management reduce profitability in crop production since these methods are expensive. Recent efforts are being intensified on finding alternative strategies for weed management. The need for safe food production has developed steadily over the years as a result of consciousness about food quality and environmental concerns regarding agrochemicals used in agriculture. Such efforts include the use of allelochemicals which are believed to be much safer than synthetic herbicides. Crops/plants release chemicals i.e “allelochemicals” which could be utilized for
