Weed biomass is a critical agent in determining the producti
Weed biomass is a critical agent in determining the productivity of agricultural yields and therefore is of great importance to understand how simple and more effective methods can be taken to decrease it. Through the usage of different growing patterns and different densities of the spatial arrangement of the plants research has shown that weed biomass can be reduced.
In the report, researchers were able to significantly decrease the amount of weed biomass by seventy two percent the first year and fifty eight percent the second year while subjecting the maize to Brachiaria brizantha a common agricultural weed. The most productive methods were stated to be a combination of high plant density and the maize species evaluated.
With growing food needs around the world, there is an ever increasing need to innovate and increase efficiency in agriculture. This research shows that not only does increasing the density decrease the amount of waste due to weeds, but also supports higher yields in crops harvested.
Many factors must be considered in agriculture and further tests should be done in order to evaluate the stress that is placed on the soil that is subjects to high density agriculture. Nutrient poor soil could result in the loss of harvests as well as costly financial supplements to replenish with fertilizers.

Solution
Ques-1. How well the summary correctly identified the primary purpose driving the article?
Answer: The meticulous aim of this study is to examine whether weed biomass is a critical agent in determining the productivity of agricultural yields followed by any changes in density with the amount of waste due to weeds. Therefore, it has clearly found out that not only does increasing the density decrease the amount of waste due to weeds, but also supports higher yields in crops harvested.
Ques-2: How well the summary correctly utilized data from the article in support of the primary purpose?
Many factors must be considered in agriculture and further tests should be done in order to evaluate the stress that is placed on the soil that is subjects to high -density agriculture. It has clearly & correctly, utilized data from the article in support of the primary purpose because density, variety and sowing pattern were observed with a prominent effects on both weed biomass and yield in presence of weed. Total weed biomass was reduced by 72% during the first year and 58% in the second year. Therefore, grain yield was increased by 48% and 44% compared to normal standards
