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
Hoe it young and mulch the rows; do not let the seeds tucked at the leaf joints ripen.
Active ingredients whose labels name it
- GlyphosateHRAC 9
Herbicides registered in the Philippines with these active ingredients name this weed on their labels, each for the crops its label lists, such as corn. Use one only where the label names your crop, and follow it.
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.
