    The document defines key terms related to weed science and provides information on classifying weeds. It defines weeds, weed science, allelopathy, common weeds, noxious weeds, and other terms. It then differentiates the three classifications of weeds - grasses, sedges, and broadleaves - based on their stem shape, cotyledon, leaf venation, root system, habitat, and examples of each type.

    Lesson 3: Worksheet

    I. Define the following terms using your own words:

    a. Weed Science - is the study of vegetation management in agricultural production systems,


    natural areas, and managed properties in residential and urban areas

    b. Weeds - A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, "a plant in the
    wrong place", or a plant growing where it is not wanted

    c. Allelopathy - Allelopathy is a biological phenomenon by which an organism produces one or


    more biochemicals that influence the germination, growth, survival, and reproduction of other
    organisms.

    d. Common weeds - common weeds, including dandelion, wild violet, bindweed, wild garlic,
    thistle, chickweed, oxalis and garlic mustard.

    e. Noxious weeds - harmful weed or injurious weed is a weed that has been designated by an
    agricultural or other governing authority as a plant that is injurious to agricultural or
    horticultural crops, natural habitats or ecosystems, or humans or livestock.

    f. Interspecific competition - is the competition between individuals of different species.

    g. Intraspecific competition - is an interaction in population ecology, whereby members of the


    same species compete for limited resources.

    h. Phytoncide - are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or “essential oils” given off by trees.

    i. Koline - investment in innovation can we help farmers deal with the ever-increasing threat
    from crop pests, while also meeting more exacting societal.

    j. Asexual reproduction - is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes
    or change in the number of chromosomes.
