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 mats before they flower and mulch the beds; it thrives in cool, moist upland fields.

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 cabbage and every other crop it grows in.
