Garden Weeds

Kosha weed was brought from India and China. The word means 'sheath' in Sanskrit, which is a very ancient and literary language of India. It was brought into the United States of America to serve as ground cover and as forage for livestock and wildlife.

Broadleaf herbicides, controlled burns, extreme trims, ground covers, landscape fabrics, manual or mechanical removal, mulching, and soil solarization are ways to kill whorled milkweed. Key to controlling the Asclepiadaceae family member in question is preventing pods from ripening above the surface and rhizomes from rooting below the surface and seeding above. Burns, cutbacks, removals, and sprays serve to eliminate the Asclepias genus member in question whereas covers, fabrics, non-organic and organic mulches, and weighted-down black plastic sheets tend to obstruct their re-establishment.

Rhizomes and seeds are ways by which goldenrod weeds reproduce. Rhizomes let the Compositae family member expand by rooting below the ground and shooting for seeding above the surface. The many yellow flower heads produce many seeds during their bloom-time from July to October.

Yes, chemists make weed killer. Some of them are fairly simple compounds, others are very complex. They act in many different ways, and some can be designed to kill some plants but not others. An effective herbicide will have the least effect upon non-target plants and the most potent effects upon target vegetation.

Other insects, larvae eaters, and humansare predators of Goliath beetles [Goliathus spp]. Other insect predators may include a Goliath beetle's own kind. Specifically, adult male Goliath beetles are known to engage in fierce battles over territory, mating, and food sources. Otherwise, it's the larval stage that's particularly vulnerable to crippling and fatal injuries by bird and mammal rainforest residents that favor larvae as food sources.

Acting as a ground cover, contributing to soil phosphorus levels, functioning as a natural herbicide, providing floral color, and supporting native plants (Gaillardia grandiflora, Lupinus sericeus) are ways in which spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) is not a pest. But at the same time, spotted knapweed fundamentally fits the pest bill for disagreeing with grazing sheep, dominating space, endangering neighboring plants through catechin-allelopathy grabbing water through a super-effective tap root, out-competing native bunchgrass, producing many seeds, and outwitting biological controls.

I can answer this, you see 245T is one of the ingredients in ancient orange, which was used in Vietnam (don't know if your up to date with history) , the reason the used it is because it makes a plant grow rapdily fast, so fast the it just dies out. So that's how it kills weeds. by increasing the rate of growth to extreme levels. Hope this helps.

Ragweed is a green plant with serrated leaves that resemble fern fronds. It produces small, yellow-green flowers that develop into mean-looking seed heads. Ragweed can grow up to 3 feet tall and is a common cause of hay fever due to its pollen.

Bedstraw, bindweed, bittercress, black medoc, button weed, carpet weed, cat's ear, chickweed, cinquefoil, clover, dandelion, dock, dog fennel, ground ivy, hawkweed, heal-all, henbit, horse nettle, horse weed, pigweed, plantain, poison ivy, pony foot, poor-joe, purslane, red sorrel, shepherd's purse, smartweed, sowthistle, speedwell, spurge, teasel, thistle, wild carrot, yarrow, yellow rocket and yellow woodsorrel are common lawn weeds that grow in the southeastern United States of America. Broadleaf weeds may be accompanied in their controversial presences with grasses and sedges perceived to be equally undesirable. Common grasses and sedges range from annual bluegrass to barnyard grass, bermuda-grass, cheat, crab-grass, goose-grass, Johnson-grass, orchard-grass, quack-grass, stink-grass and yellow nutsedge.

Burning below-ground plant parts and damaging and destroying internal fluids and tissues are ways that lye kills weeds. The herbicide in question (sodium hydroxide) raises soil pH levels to unsustainable ranges of 13 or 14 on a scale of 0 to 14, where many plants hover between 5.5 and 7.0. It will require personal protective equipment, from head to foot, by its user and surveillance of immediate and subsequent effects since lye damages and destroys everyone and everything in the immediate area of application.

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

'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.
