Salt is applied to tennis lawns to kill weeds.

Question:

Salt is applied to tennis lawns to kill weeds. How does salting tennis lawns help in the killing of weeds without affecting the grass?

Solution:

The salt solution being hypertonic causes exo-osmosis in plants. 1 cup salt in 2 cups of water, fairly well dissolved when sprayed on weed plants, start killing them.
