    WHAT IS WEEDS?
    Introduction
     Most of us are familiar with weed as we can see them growing
    everywhere. For the farmers it is important to identify the common
    weeds that may compete the nutrients of their crops. 
     A weed is a plant that is considered undesirable in a specific
    situation, or "a plant in the wrong place." Plants that are undesirable
    in human-controlled environments, such as farm fields, gardens,
    lawns, and parks, are common examples. 
     Weed also refers to any plant that grows or reproduces aggressively
    or is invasive outside of its natural habitat.
