Weeds are all species that are born without human assistance, sporadically appear in the soil, starting to compete for light, space and nutrients and undermine the development of planned cultivation. In addition, weeds tend to spread quickly and quantitatively, competing for space in their fields.
Before establishing an economically viable crop in an area, weed management needs to be done. They must be removed and management must be done so that they do not grow back. For this reason, it is important to know what are the factors that limit weed growth. These factors are:
Occurrence. In primary succession pioneer species like lichen, algae and fungi as well as other abiotic factors like wind and water start to "normalize" the habitat. Primary succession begins on rock formations, such as volcanoes or mountains, or in a place with no organisms or soil.
