Milkweed's Kingdom is Plantae; Order, Gentianales; Family, Apocynacea;, Subfamily, Asclepiadoideae; Genus, Asclepias.

Classifying weeds helps in better understanding their biology, behavior, and characteristics, which in turn aids in developing effective control strategies. It also helps in prioritizing management approaches based on the weed's invasiveness, ecological impact, and economic importance. Additionally, weed classification allows for targeted research and monitoring efforts to mitigate their negative impact on agriculture and ecosystems.

'Allium tuberosum', 'Allium ramosum' or even 'Allium chinense' may be found as the Latin names for 'garlic chives'.

Seeds germinating in an environment that provides the proper growing conditions are the causes of weeds. The vegetation in question may be defined as plants whose benefits are unappreciated or unknown and whose presence therefore is undesirable, because of aggressive, invasive competition or because of cultivator preferences for other edibles or ornamentals. Weeds tend to flourish because of multiple ways of taking over space -- by rhizomes, roots, stolons -- that is disturbed and too high or low in nutrients for plants deemed to be non-weeds.

Controlled burns, herbicide applications, and severe pruning is a way to kill all kudzu and thick brush in an area. The combined treatment schedule generally may be counted on to remove most problem vegetation within one year and the most resistant within two or three years. Any two of the above-mentioned three components will work whereas all three together (or just aggressive, clear-cutting, determined, mass-level bulldozing on its own) will yield the most dramatic results in the shortest amount of time.

Mulching, removing, spraying, and using landscape fabric or mulch are ways to kill weeds without killing the myrtle among which the weeds are growing. Removal can be done -- but carefully so as not to damage or destroy the woody plant's body parts -- by hand, hoe, rake, or shovel. Spraying must involve a non-residual, specific, target herbicide so as not to adversely affect the Myrtus genus member in question.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make energy, through interaction with the sun's rays. Plants need energy to grow. When they live for more than one year, they tend to store this energy while they're dormant, for ready access in the spring. The preceding informaton applies to herbaceous and woody plants, and therefore to kudzu. Kudzu uses photosynthesis to changethe form of the water and nutrients that the plant gets from the soil. Under the influence of the sun's rays, the nutrients and water are changed into energizing materials, such as sugars and starches. These materials are what kudzu needs to carry out its daily activities, such as growing.

no, round up is safer and more envirumentally friendly then salt. ------- I found this answer and just shook my head about the ignorance. Salt is in every LIVING thing and so is safe (not to consume in great quantity mind you) for animals and people. Roundup is a pesticide and so is not safe. Common sense.

Kills weeds, obviously. Most herbicides that are sold to gardeners are non-specific herbicides--in other words, the chemical solution in the jug or bottle will kill any plant that comes in contact to the chemical, no matter if it's a plant you don't consider a weed or not. It also means that it doesn't target specific types of plants (like broad-leaved plants and/or grasses), but a wide variety.

How herbicides work depends on what type you are using. There are two different types; contact herbicides and systemic herbicides, both kill plants in the same basic way they either stop the plant from "breathing" or "eating". Contact ones hit the plant and kill whatever is growing above ground and systemic herbicides get sucked in by the plant, travel down to the roots and kill the plant from there.

Of course. Most weed control products are "selective" which means they kill weeds and not grass. The labels should read...it does not kill grass but will kill everything else.

Even if you spray near your flowers and not on them, they could still die because weed control is volatile which means the vapors (almost like gasoline) will rise up and kill them.

Ancient evolution, internal challenges, limited size, restricted space and water dependency are descriptive phrases that fit non-vascular plants. Non-vascular plants such as green algae, hornworts, liverworts and mosses count among the first life forms recognizable as plants, albeit without internal means for in-taking, processing and storing nutrients and water. They therefore never overcome the environmental challenge of being near moist earth or open water for food, lodging and reproduction or the spatial limit of the physical shape assumed for the environmental space that it fills.

Wedding is necessary since weeds also use nutrients from the soil. They compete with water and light, thus, affecting the growth of crop be reducing the yield

No it is not it is a source of anti oxidents and is used in Japan as food!

Yes, Roundup weed killer can kill cats if precautions are not taken. The pest control in question contains glyphosate, which is toxic to people and pets when contact is made while the active ingredient still is effective. Glyphosate exposure requires diluting any amounts ingested with milk or water, rinsing eyes for 20 minutes and taking the beloved feline to the veterinarian as quickly as possible.

A non-residual, target-specific herbicide is a weed killer that does not kill iris. The herbicide may be either pre-emergent or post-emergent. It must not be a weed killer that impacts all vegetation in the immediate area or that remains in the environment.

To kill weeds and not the bushs is done by using your weed killer product up to the roots of the bush. Most roots of a bush are no wider then the branches of the bush. Then you will manually need to remove the weeds around the bushs. Also very important do not get the weed product on any of the bush's leaves or branches. I use a weed product that is organitc and has never killed anything but my weeds. Please note that I have nothing fancy or expensive in my yard. So a little care and some manual work you will have a weed free lawn and healthy bushs.

Black plastic sheeting, bulldozing, controlled burns, manual or mechanical removal, mulches, roto-tilling, salt, vinegar, weed-eaters and weed-killers are ways to rid stone-covered gardens of plants and weeds. A small stone garden can be controlled for weeds by removing the rocks temporarily -- to clear-cut the ground, with bulldozers or roto-tillers, or to solarize vegetation by putting down permanently weighted down black plastic sheeting. The other options do not require removing the rocks but working around them to eliminate plants and weeds.

Two types of methods are used to control pests. Natural pest control methods are employed to reduce or eliminate infestations through companion planting, crop rotation, predatory animals or repellent plants, but without harming humans, crops and other organisms. In contrast, chemical pest control methods often employ harsh pesticides that may be applied systemically (targeting where plants are commonly ingested by pests) or sprayed aerially, but with harmful and residual effects on both human and animals living within the area.

Repellent plants are practical if they will grow in your area. You can also put up a fence, even a low, decorative one, and run a low-voltage hot wire around the top. You can get a pet-voltage box that will not injure an animal, and the wire itself, at pretty much any hardware store. After getting shocked a few times the cats will probably stop trying to get in altogether. However, this method is not advised.

Try a concoction of 'hot pepper' spray. This can be made by heating Red Pepper Flakes in a pot of hot water, or mineral spirits. Spray this liberally around the intended area and all animals should avoid it. Many commercially available solutions are designed specifically to 'repel' deer, rodents, and cats.

Another sneaky method is to grow some Catnip, or Cat grass nearby, but far enough away to keep the felines busy and hopefully forget about your target plants. One of the reasons cats (& dogs) frequent a bed is to spray/urinate OVER a previous animals scent. Keep that in mind.

Cat Stop is an ultrasonic, battery-operated cat repellent with a motion detector. See the SafePetProducts web site to read more about this highly recommended product.

Push wooden chopsticks or 10-inch plant stakes into flowerbeds every eight inches to discourage digging and scratching.

Cats dislike citrus smells. Scatter orange and lemon peels or spray with citrus-scented spray. You can also scatter citrus-scented pet bedding such as Citrafresh.

Coffee grounds and pipe tobacco also work to repel cats. Some people have also suggested lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, eucalyptus oil and mustard oil.

you can also put pine cones around your plants, cats hate to step on them

I find a Jack Russell terrier ideal.

dig it out , make a big hole, then fill it with flamibles and set aflame.
