Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Solution:

An organism which controls or destroys unwanted plant growth without harming the useful plant is called bioherbicide. The first bioherbicide happened to be mycoherbicide (fungal herbicide). It was elaborated in 1981. This herbicide is Phytophthora pulmivora. The fungus does not allow the Milkweed vine to grow in citrus orchards.
