Weed control is vital to agriculture, because weeds decrease yields, increase production costs, interfere with harvest, and lower product quality. Weeds also impede irrigation water-flow, interfere with pesticide application, and harbour disease organisms.
Successful agricultural growth in various developed countries has therefore capitalized on abundant factors of production: land and mechanization in the United States; labor, land improvements, and biological technology in Japan. Continental Europe also emphasized biological technology before shifting the emphasis to mechanical technology.
