Identify weeds found in different habitats. Describe the role of habitat and past history on weed infestations.
Weeds are one of the most persistent pests plaguing crop producers, land managers, and homeowners.
Well, they have a unique ability to capture niches created by humans and produce a considerable amount of seed. Single plants of some weed species, such as pigweed, can produce more than 200,000 seeds. Not all of these seeds survive to produce plants, but many remain in the soil for years waiting for the right conditions for germination . Because of the prolific seed-producing capacity of weeds, a few survivors of weed control tactics can quickly increase the number of seeds in the soil. The soil can be thought of as a bank.
