Crops it troubles
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
Slash and dig out the tangles, then lime and feed the soil and plant a cover crop; it takes over where the soil is poor and sour.
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 coconut and every other crop it grows in.
