Farmers can employ various strategies such as mechanical methods (like hand weeding or using machinery), cultural practices (crop rotation, mulching), chemical herbicides, and biological control methods (introducing natural predators or pathogens of weeds).

Farmers can employ several measures to effectively control weeds in their fields. These include cultural practices like crop rotation and cover cropping to suppress weed growth. Mechanical methods such as hand weeding, hoeing, and cultivating help remove weeds manually or mechanically. Additionally, targeted herbicide application, using pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides, can selectively control weeds while minimizing damage to crops.
