Biennial Weed

Biennial weeds are plants that usually complete their life cycle over two seasons of their growth. That means a weed will sprout in the first year of the season life and bloom; then, this plant will die in the second season. The biennial weed group includes not much, just a little species. The garden biennial weed you can come across most is musk thistle.

In general, biennial weed causes fewer problems than other groups, especially annual weeds. Biennial weed may appear in the gardens of perennial crops. To control biennial weed, using herbicides can produce the most effects if they're applied before weed seed is sown. Or digging the ground up is also a method to get rid of the garden weeds.

You can examine methods of eradicating weeds as discussed above: mulch the garden, dig out the weed, or use strong herbicides. Because of its thorns, you must be careful when trying to control them.

To pull this plant out of your garden, you should prepare gloves and soil knives. Loosen up the soil first with your soil knives, and then pull its roots out of gardens. Remember to wear gloves during the process of pulling to prevent thorns.

Use pre-emergence and post herbicides to prevent musk thistle seeds from multiplying as soon as you notice their appearance on your garden landscape. If it reaches maturity and has a tough root system without being removed soon, your next process to control this weed will become harder than ever.
