Broadleaves

Mile a minute vine

Fast twining vine with heart shaped leaves in pairs and small clusters of white flowers that blanket shrubs and young trees; Mikania micrantha looks almost the same.

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

Pull the vines off the crop and dig out the base; cut pieces root again, so do not leave them on moist ground.

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.

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.
