In Fiji, glyphosate.

This is equally important if the machinery is being imported into a country or moved within a country. If moving from areas where the weed occurs to those weed-free, wash to remove soil and seed. The seeds are small and seedlings will have difficulty penetrating a 5-10 cm layer of mulch. Slashing will slow growth, but not prevent it note, stems pieces will root and form new plants.Hand weeding (and hoeing) is effective on small areas where follow-up is possible to control seedlings.Photo about yellow, forming, germination, avocado, stem, toothpicks, flower, white, leaves, tableware, produce.
