    This certificate certifies that Saikat Das, a class 11 student of TIGPS Garia, conducted a project on "Study of the Effect of a Herbicide on Lawn Weeds" during the 2019-2020 academic year for his CBSE board requirements. The project compared the effect of a herbicide on monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. It found that the broad-leaved dicot plants were killed by the herbicide, while the narrow-leaved monocot grass plants remained unaffected.

    INTRODUCTION
    Weeds are unwanted plants which
    grow in our crop fields and complete
    with the useful plants for the
    resources. They compete for the
    space, light, nutrients and water, and
    reduce the crop yield. Many of the
    weeds act as alternate host for certain
    diseases and thus help in
    perpetuation of the diseases. Many
    weeds cause allergy and other skin
    ailments in human beings and are
    thus hazardous to human health.
    Weeds can be removed from the fields,
    play grounds and lawns either by
    mechanical method or chemical
    method. In the latter case, certain
    chemicals are used to kill the weeds.
    The chemical substances which can
    destroy weeds are called weedicide.
    There are some synthetic auxins such
    as 2, 4-(Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid)
    interfere with the translocation of
    carbohydrates and thus kills the
    plants. Dicotyledonous and
    monocotyledonous plants respond
    differently to different concentrations
    of 2, 4-D. Specific concentration of
    2, 4-D can destroy broad leaved or
    dicotyledonous plants, while the
    narrow leaved or monocotyledonous
    plants remain unharmed. Therefore,
    2, 4-D is commonly used as selective
    herbicide to eliminate broad leaved
    weeds growing along with narrow
    leaved useful plants. Since the
    subject has a practical significance,
    the same has been selected for the
    present project work.
    AIM
    To Study the Effect of Herbicide on
    Lawn Weeds (To compare the effect
    of herbicide on monocotyledonous
    and dicotyledonous plants).

    MATERIALS REQUIRED
    2, 4-D, sprayer, beakers, measuring
    cylinder, cord, nails, etc.
    EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
    Dissolve 10 gm. 2, 4-D in 3 ml of
    ethanol. Mix this solution drop by
    drop with 100 ml of distilled water.
    Select an abandoned lawn in which it
    was found weeds growing. Mark out a
    square sized area in the lawn by
    driving nails into the ground using a
    cord.
    Spray 2, 4-D solution over the
    selected area once in a week.
    Observe the marked and treated area
    after a few week.

    Effect of 2, 4-D application on broad leaved weeds


    grown on Lawn
    OBSERVATION
    The broad leaved plants such as dicot
    plants showed wilting of leaves after a
    day or two and gradually died.
    But the narrow leaved plants such as
    grass remained unaffected.

    CONCLUSION
    2, 4-D has killing effect on broad leaved
    plants (dicotyledonous plant) and not on
    narrow leaved plants (monocotyledonous
    plants).
