Russian pigweed

Russian pigweed (Axyris amaranthoides) became an invasive species when it reached North America and has the potential to devastate crops by taking over the ground. The seeds can also ruin cereal crop harvests. Russian pigweed has a pronounced taproot, which makes control by tilling impossible, so it's very challenging to eradicate once established.
