Poverty, hunger, environmental degradation and climate change can be mitigated with the
production of environmentally friendly value added panel products from agricultural wastes and
weeds. These products can stand as alternative to wood products demands for construction
industries; and can increase farmers’ income, prosperity, and alleviate poverty.
These products are hybrids of organic, inorganic (cement) and plastic (virgin HDPE and recycled
LDPE) reinforced with assorted wood wastes, weeds and agricultural by-products, using adaptable
and innovative manufacturing techniques. (...) Justification
Development and implementation of this innovative product will alleviate poverty through the
sales of agricultural residues, postharvest wastes and weeds for panel production. Furthermore,
environmental degradation and pollution arising from burning and other conventional means of
waste disposal will be prevented.

In India, an extensive outbreak of weed dermatitis caused by Parthenium allergy involving around 1,000 patients and including some deaths has been reported.
(...) This is easily done when the soil is wet. Uprooting the weed after seed setting will increase the area of infestation. (...) Also, development of resistance against commonly used herbicides needs to be monitored. Lastly, utilization aspects of the weed as green manure, growth inhibitor and phagostimulant in medicines should be promoted so that the population is controlled through exploitation.

Can be used to control weeds and pests.
Cover crops are grown during fallow periods, between harvest and planting of commercial crops, utilizing the residual soil moisture. (...) Provide "biological tillage" of the soil; the roots of some crops, especially cruciferous crops, like oil radish are pivotal and able to penetrate compacted or very dense layers, increasing water percolation capacity of the soil.
Utilizing easily leached nutrients (especially N).
(...) We have seen their importance for nutrient recycling; but they also have a physical and, perhaps, an allelopathic effect on weeds, depressing their incidence and leading to a reduction in agrochemical use and thus in production costs.
