'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Hungary)

'new growth a nuisance' is the wordplay.
'new growth' becomes 'buda' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a nuisance' becomes 'pest' (I've seen this before).
'buda'+'pest'='BUDAPEST'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for budapest that I've seen before include "Capital city on the Danube" , "Hungary's capital" , "capital location" , "European capital" , "Capital of Hungary" .)
