Human: Where do weeds come from?

Assistant: There are two major types of weeds: invasive weeds that were introduced intentionally or unintentionally by humans, and other types of weeds that are native species.  Invasive weeds often include plant species from other parts of the world that can be hard to control because they have no natural predators in their new environment.  Native weeds could be problematic for similar reasons, or might simply pop up on their own due to overpopulation. It’s important to understand the causes and reasons behind each type of weeds, as different methods of control may be effective in each case.


Human: Where do weeds come from?

Assistant: That’s a good question. Sometimes weeds are produced when seeds are splashed with weed killer, and then grow unexpectedly where they weren’t supposed to grow. There are some native weeds that grow in many different locations around the world, and there are other weeds that have been deliberately planted by farmers because they can be useful. Some weeds are extremely hard to control, and some are relatively easy to control. Weeds sometimes have a negative effect on crops, but in other cases they can play a positive role in helping crops grow and thrive by building the soil and suppressing grass or weed competition.
