Soil Life Transformation Noxious weeds
Characteristics of Noxious weeds They grow vigorously and compete with tea for nutrients. They come back very quickly after herbicide Some of them develop resistance with herbicides.
Mimosa pudica
Soft weeds
Characteristics of Soft weeds They grow slowly and laterally, covering the soil surface. They protect your soil from erosion, and prevent it from compaction. They host predators that control pests in your field. They are not too vigorous and can co-exist with tea. They can be easily controlled by manual weeding.
Ageratum
Polygonum chinensis Cyperus pilosus Cynodon dactylon (Murwa grass)
Parthenium hysterophorus (Parthenium weed, Carrot grass)
Digitaria sanguinalis
Oxalis
Axonopus compressus (Flat grass)
Glechoma hederacea (Ground Ivy, Creeping Charlie) Eupotarium odoratum (Siam weed) Borreria hispida (Bagracot)
Ferns Setaria palmifolia
Imperata cylindrica (Thatch)
Uproot noxious weeds before they flower and seed so that they cannot proliferate.
Physalis angulata
Mikania Bidens pilosa
Take them out of the farm and use them for composting. Do not leave them on the farm, as they can revive.
By repeating this practice, you can gradually get rid of noxious weeds on the farm.
Wait until the soft weeds flower and seed, to help them proliferate.
Amaranthus viridis
Keep them at low height by sickling regularly.
Leave the cut weeds on the ground, as they serve as mulch. When they decompose, they will add organic matter to the soil.
By repeating these practices, the soil will be covered more and more by soft weeds. The soil will be better protected from erosion and compaction, and it will be enriched with more organic matter.
