Weed Control
Akopọ
A weed is simply a plant growing where the farmer does not want it, and that is enough to make it an enemy of the crop. Weeds steal the same light, water, nutrients and root space the crop needs, so a field left unweeded can lose much of its yield long before harvest. Some weeds do worse still: the witchweed Striga actually attaches to the roots of maize and sorghum and feeds on the crop directly.
In this lesson you will meet a named local weed, learn how it harms a crop and how it spreads, and then work through the three routes a farmer can take to control it: cultural, mechanical and chemical. You will learn the difference between selective and non-selective herbicides, when each is used, and how to weigh up the cost, the labour and the risk of pollution so that you can suggest the right method for a given farm.
