Plants with no special germination requirements, or variability in germination requirements, may exploit a wider range of environments. However, as some weeds compete with crop plants it may be advantageous if germination is controlled by some factor which is linked to the cultivation operation (i.e. light stimulated germination or flowering controlled by photoperiod).
