Arthropoda is the phylum
of animals that include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others that are
characterized by the presence of jointed limbs. Arthropodology
(from Greek; arthron = joint, podos = foot & logous =
to study) is a biological discipline concerned with the study of arthropods.
Entomology (from
Greek; entomos, "cut in pieces or engraved/segmented", hence
"insect"; and & logous = to study) is the Scientific
study of Insects and a branch of arthropodology.
Entomologists
are the scientists who study, collect, rear and experiments on insects. The
insects are easy to work upon for a number of reasons, easy to culture in lab,
short life cycles, rapid population turnover and lesser ethical concerns to
experiment on insects compared to other vertebrate insects.

1. Lower Crop Yields
Weeds in the agricultural fields provide competition to the
crop plants in a number of ways, for example, for nutrients, light, water and
allelopathic compounds. This reduces the crop growth and yields. Management of
these weeds is an expensive but necessary part of modern day agriculture; hence
increasing the cost of production.

Weed science is the scientific
discipline that deals with the study of weeds or plants that interfere with
human activities.
But first of all we must try to
establish what is a weed because weed is defined in a variety of ways depending
upon the situation. But the most common definition is that;
A weed is a plant growing where
it is not desired or a plant out of proper place.
Weeds are included into the pests
of plants, crops, water courses and gardens. Hence, they require proper
management and control options. The chemicals used to control pests are called
pesticides, whereas the chemicals used to control weeds specifically are called
herbicides. While a herbicide targeting a particular weed or a group is called weedicide.
