Synopsis (short abstract) The noxious incidence of undesirable plants, also known as weeds, is one of the major constraints to world agricultural production. Weeds are plants that under certain conditions cause economic and social harm to the farmers. In the agro-ecological context, weeds are a product of the inter-specific selection brought about by humans since they began cropping, which affected the soil and the whole habitat. The process of selection is continuous and depends on the practices adopted by t he farmer.
