LABORATORY EXERCISE NO. 5
COLLECTION, CLASSIFICATION OF WEEDS
BASED ON THEIR MORPHOLOGICAL
CHARACTERISTICS
INTRODUCTION
Weeds are unwanted plants that compete with
crops for water, nutrients, and light. To manage
weeds effectively, we need to know what they look
like. In this lab exercise, we'll collect and classify
weeds based on their physical characteristics,
such as leaf shape, stem growth habit, and flower
type. By learning to identify weeds, we can
develop practical skills to recognize and manage

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this laboratory exercise helped us
understand the importance of identifying and classifying
weeds based on their morphological characteristics. By
learning to recognize and categorize weeds, we can
develop effective strategies for managing them in
agricultural fields and gardens, ultimately improving crop
yields and reducing economic losses.
