What is the importance of weeding?

Weeding:

1. The unwanted plants that grow along with the desired crop are known as weeds. The removal of weeds is called weeding.
2. The growth of weeds is harmful as they consume a lot of fertilizers, water, sunlight etc which ultimately reduces the crop yield.
3. Weeding protects the plants from pests and helps in loosening of soil so that roots of the desired plants can penetrate easily.
