    This document outlines an experiment to identify weed species at a university's crop farm and determine the implications for crops. Students will visit the farm, identify 10 weed species among the crops, classify each species, and state a suitable management strategy for each weed-crop combination. The results will include pictures and details of each identified weed species, along with the implications for the associated crop and a management strategy. The aim is to learn to positively identify weeds and understand their effects on crops.

    3. Classify each specie identified based on their life span, growth habit, texture and morphology
    4. What are the implications for the crop with which each species is associated
    5. State a suitable management strategy for controlling each weed species in the associated crop

    Results & Discussion


    • Pictures of the weeds identified
    • Scientific and common names of the weed
