How to tell it is a broadleaf

Wide leaves with a net of veins. The group decides what kills it, so check the stem and the leaf before you buy a herbicide.

How to keep it out

Dig it out with its root, since it grows back from the base, and mulch the beds; its pods throw seed a long way.

How to control it

What to do and which active ingredients work depend on your crop and how old it is. The weed control helper in anee.io gives both, for cabbage and every other crop it grows in.

Not sure it is this one?

Many weeds look alike. Send a photo to Anee, the smart farm technician in anee.io. She reads it with your crop, its age and the weather, and tells you what it most likely is and what to do first. In Tagalog or English.
