Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)
An annual grass that sprouts in lawns and fields. Control methods include pre-emergent herbicides, proper lawn maintenance, and manual removal.
Lamb's Quarters (Chenopodium album)
Common in gardens and fields; it can be controlled by mulching, hand-pulling when soil is moist, and using post-emergent herbicides.
Morning Glory (Ipomoea spp.)
A vining annual or perennial. Control includes hand removal, mulching, and the careful use of post-emergent herbicides.
Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)
A perennial with milky sap and attractive to butterflies. Control with repeated mowing, herbicides, and encouraging competitive plants.
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)
A succulent annual that can be managed with dense plantings to outcompete, shallow cultivation, and post-emergence herbicides.
Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense)
Perennial with prickly leaves found in croplands. Control by maintaining dense turf, applications of herbicide, and consistent mowing to weaken the plant.
Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida)
An annual that produces large quantities of pollen. Control through tillage, mowing before seed set, and using appropriate herbicides.
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli)
A summer annual grass that competes with crops. Control with pre-emergence herbicides, crop rotation, and hand removal.
Common Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium)
A tough annual with spiny burs. Control involves pre-plant tillage, crop competition, and applying pre-emergence herbicides.
Wild Mustard (Sinapis arvensis)
Annual, grows early in the season; control by rotating crops, avoiding forage contamination, and using suitable herbicides.
Nutsedge (Cyperus spp.)
A sedge that resembles grass; it's controlled through improving drainage, mulching, and using selective herbicides that target sedges.
Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense)
A perennial grass with ability to outcompete crops. Control through repeated mowing, tillage, and application of glyphosate herbicide.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
A perennial with a deep taproot. Control by promoting healthy turf, hand-digging, and applying broadleaf herbicides.
Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti)
An annual with heart-shaped leaves and velvet-like texture. Control using crop rotation, mechanical weeding, and post-emergent herbicides.
Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon)
A warm-season perennial grass. Controlled by reducing soil compaction, timely mowing, and selective post-emergent herbicides.
