Highly appreciated Farhan.
I am not sure if someone has cooked "False Amaranth"- it makes an edible saag.

Re: Common Weeds of Pakistan
EXCELLENT, the next step is how to get rid of them,
Bind weed has deep roots/suckers, keep removing as they appear and over years they would be gone
Some grasses have to be removed every year manually. Dallia/Moork is a real problem, any tried effective measures for it?
How effective are the weed killers?

Re: Common Weeds of Pakistan
I thought of adding seedling image, weed behaviour and eradication method of each weed but it was becoming cumbersome display wise. I will try to do that.... Members can help us with their experience as Sir Arif has suggested.

Re: Common Weeds of Pakistan
If we had an option of 'Like' on the forum..... super likes for this post from my side... these weeds give a backache in a newly planted garden.. although labor intensive method but i have only used hand weeding and weekly removal of these weeds will greatly reduce their population within 2 two months... for weeds which have become big and require more force to pull them up are given small volume of concentrated solution of urea/DAP directly on their base and they wilt within 2-3 hours..

Re: Common Weeds of Pakistan
I have observed that in case of many grasslike weeds, its of no use to remove visible part, and weeds keep coming up. The only way out is to remove the deep rooted rhizomes.
Another aspect of getting rid off weeds is to not let them flower. If they flower, its becomes very difficult to control because of very good seed dispersal/count.

Re: Common Weeds of Pakistan
Do you have a picture? And to which language does the word "khbazi" belong? Once we know that, finding the answer would be easy!madiha wrote:any one know the scientific name of khbazi weed.???
