Extract

Plants are components of ecosystems (Figure 1). The primary or sole target of an agro-ecosystem is still production. Production systems are centered around two points: the ecosystem and the socio-economic system (Figure 2). Weeds, except parasitic weeds, are primary producers and compete with the crop plants. They may have beneficial effects besides their detrimental ones. Weeds are, therefore, plants which are more harmful than beneficial.
