In a medical context, "plant weeds" typically refers to plants that are not desired in a specific location, often because they compete with crops or other desirable plants for resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight. These plants can be native or non-native species that have become overabundant and can negatively impact the health and biodiversity of an ecosystem.

"Biological control agents" refer to organisms or biological substances that are used to suppress or reduce the population of pests or harmful organisms in order to manage their negative impact on crops, humans, animals, or the environment. These biological control agents can include predators, parasites, pathogens, or competitors that naturally regulate the target pest population. They provide an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides for pest management.
