With growing weed menace all around have been an age old phenomena but with changing climatic conditions, easy and frequent movability of people, use of imported seeds etc. have further helped in their (weeds) growth all over the regions. Growing presence of weeds not only in agriculture fields but in grass fields, forests and even in surroundings all over has already created a havoc on the people totally dependent on these segments for their daily livelihood. With growing tendencies of people to avoid hard work as put by old generations to pull (mechanical extraction) all types of weeds manually at regular intervals, is further leading for the unwanted growth and over powering of agriculture produce, grass and forest lands by these weeds leading to great loss of resources. People are looking for easy ways i.e., use of harmful chemicals to get rid of these weeds but such a use not only helps in the control of weeds but also creating a big loss of other natural resources like useful plants, animals, birds, microorganisms and through a natural cycle from fields à water à gran à animals à human the use of dangerous chemicals are finally proving harmful towards the wellbeing of mankind itself. Thus, with the growing use of harmful chemicals to control weeds, we are losing many valuable natural resources and having adverse effect of wellbeing of all natural living beings.
