Roguing is a term used in agriculture and gardening that refers to removing or eliminating unwanted plants or parts of plants. Some synonyms for roguing include weeding, thinning, culling, and uprooting. Weeding involves removing unwanted plants from a field or garden bed. Thinning refers to removing excess plants to give the remaining plants more space to grow. Culling involves removing weaker or diseased plants to allow the stronger plants to thrive. Uprooting involves removing entire plants, including their roots, to prevent them from regrowing. Whatever the term used, the purpose of roguing is to maintain a healthy and productive crop or garden.
