The differences in broadleaf weeds' structure and growth habits make them easy to distinguish from narrow-leaved weedy grasses. [5] Most broadleaf weeds have leaves with net-like veins and nodes that contain one or more leaves, and they may have showy flowers, [6] while grassy weeds appear as a single leaf from a germinated seed.

A forb or phorb is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grass, sedge, or rush). The term is used in botany and in vegetation ecology especially in relation to grasslands [ 1 ] and understory . [ 2 ]
This winter annual weed has purple-tinged leaves and small, purple flowers arranged in clusters along its square stems. It thrives in cool, moist conditions and often invades lawns, gardens, and ...
Forbs are generally defined as herbaceous broad-leafed plants, [11] while graminoids are plants with grass-like appearance including true grasses, sedges, and rushes. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Herbaceous plants most often are low-growing plants, different from woody plants like trees and shrubs , tending to have soft green stems that lack lignification and ...
The greenish flowers are borne on the slim twigs and they are quite small, they always grow up from late spring to mid-summer. The panicles are also small. Five petals are owned by the pistillate flowers. The dark purple or black berries can be 6–7 mm long and appear in mid-summer, ripening from autumn to winter. [4]
The BBCH-scale (weed) identifies the phenological development stages of weed species. It is a plant species specific version of the BBCH-scale. D = Dicotyledons G = Gramineae M = Monocotyledons P = Perennial plants V = Development from vegetative parts or propagated organs No code letter is used if the description applies to all groups of plants.
Bidens alba is a fast-growing, fast-spreading weed due to its enormous number of seeds and the ability to re-grow from stems. [3] In sub-tropical to tropical conditions, B. alba can grow almost everywhere in full sun with little or no moisture.
D. viscosa is a shrub growing to 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) tall, [5] rarely a small tree to 9 m (30 ft) tall. The leaves are variable in shape: generally obovate but some of them are lanceolate, often sessile, [6] 4–7.5 cm (1.6–3.0 in) long and 1–1.5 cm (0.39–0.59 in) broad, alternate in arrangement, and secrete a resinous substance.
