Of all these plants, if humans need it, they will find it very precious, and if it grows in the crops of peasant friends, they will find it too annoying.
Therefore, the plants that grow in the crop field will be disposed of by the peasant friends by all means, because the plants at this time will only bring harm to the peasant friends and will affect the growth of the crops planted.
