Fakta-fakta Biologi Gulma #2. "GULMA" TERNYATA JUGA BISA BERMANFAAT

Tumbuhan liar sering dianggap sebagai gulma, sebuah sebutan yang menggambarkan status merugikan. Memang, banyak bukti yang menjelaskan bahwa tumbuhan liar bisa merugikan, misalnya menjadi inang pengganti hama atau patogen, menjadi penghambat pertumbuhan tanaman, meracuni ternak, dan hal-hal merugikan yang lain.
Tetapi, di video ini, saya akan memberikan contoh yang memperlihatkan bahwa tumbuhan liar, bahkan yang berstatus gulma sekaligus, bisa bermanfaat.
Selamat menonton. Semoga bermanfaat.
