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 thick root before it seeds; the sticky seeds cling to clothes and tools.

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 onion and every other crop it grows in.

Not sure it is this one?
