Mechanical removal involves physically uprooting or cutting weeds from the soil using tools or machinery. This method helps reduce weed populations by physically eliminating them from the crop field, thereby minimizing competition for resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight.

Mechanical removal, like hand weeding or using machinery such as cultivators or mowers, physically disrupts weed growth and prevents seed production. It helps in eliminating existing weeds before they can spread and compete with crops for nutrients, water, and sunlight. Mechanical methods are efficient, environmentally friendly, and can be targeted to specific areas, reducing reliance on herbicides and promoting sustainable weed management in agriculture.
