"Weed management" refers to the process of controlling or preventing the growth and spread of unwanted plants, known as weeds, in an area. It involves taking steps to reduce the negative impact of weeds on a garden, lawn, or agricultural field, such as removing or killing them using various techniques like hand pulling, mowing, or using herbicides.
