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 or slash it before its long pods ripen; the hard seeds last years in the soil.

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 corn and every other crop it grows in.
