How do I get rid of mulberry weed?
Once the weeds start to flower and fructify, it will be difficult to control them effectively. In fact, the best time to remove weeds is before flowering and fructification because the seeds will spread rapidly after that. So, it is necessary to remove weeds more often and to take precautions in advance next year. Mulching: The seeds require enough sunlight to germinate, so using a 5 to 8 cm deep mulch layer can control weed growth in the early stage of planting. However, If the seeds are accidentally introduced into the mulch layer, the mulch will no longer be able to control the weed propagation. Pulling out: This weed will start producing seeds even when it is only a few feet tall, hence, it is necessary to remove it during the seedling phase. It is recommended to wear gloves or use tools to pull them out. If it is difficult to pull out weed due to dry soil, adding water to the soil helps to make it easy to remove the roots thoroughly. After pulling out the weed, deep tillage can be adopted to remove the residual roots. This method is especially effective for weeds that are in the seedling stage or low growing size. Chemical control: Using appropriate herbicides can effectively remove the weed from the area. Note: When removing weeds, it is necessary to wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the weeds, especially for the ones that are poisonous, thorny and allergenic. When removing weeds at the flowering stage, special masks should be worn to prevent allergic reactions caused by the inhalation of pollen.
