Weeds are a problem for all home garden owners. It takes a lot of time and effort to destroy them, and the result does not always meet expectations. Their spread leads to negative consequences that gardeners experience during the harvest. Weeds compete with beneficial plants for water, nutrients, space, lighting. Some contain active substances that inhibit the growth of the root system of agricultural and ornamental crops. As a result, the quantity and quality of ripening fruits sharply decreases, sometimes leading to a complete loss of yield.

Today there are several thousand types of weeds. Some of them harm not only other plants, but are also poisonous to insects and animals. Several species found in pastures affect the taste of milk, giving it a distinctly perceptible bitterness. Weeds can damage entire agricultural plantations. They impede the passage of grain harvesting equipment. The damage to this neighborhood is comparable to a locust infestation.

There are a lot of ways to combat weeds. Precautionary measures before crops include a set of measures to prevent their spread on the site or field. Destructive work includes mechanical destruction, or weeding, exhaustion, drying, freezing, and burning.
