State three methods by which you can control the growth of weeds in agricultural fields.
(N/A) The three methods to control the growth of weeds in agricultural fields are:
$1$. Intercropping: Growing two or more crops simultaneously in the same field in a definite row pattern,which helps in suppressing weed growth.
$2$. Crop rotation: Growing different crops in succession on the same land,which disrupts the life cycle of weeds.
$3$. Summer ploughing: Ploughing the field during the summer season exposes the roots of weeds to intense sunlight,causing them to dry out and die.
