    Default Problem Weed

    I have been looking after this property for the last 2 months now and this weed keeps popping up every in the gardens beds. It seems to like being close to this plant. At the moment i pull the weeds out by hand which is time consuming. Can anyone tell me what weed this is and can i use kamba M on them without killing the plant? Any help and ideas?

    It almost looks like 3 corner jack/bindii seedlings, but I would think you'd have seen the seed pods around if it was.

    You will know if it is sensitive weed as its leaves close up we touched hence the name. Also have a mean thorn on them so when ya stand on them in bare feet its a bit sensitive lol. As your in the NT thats my guess what it is mate

    It's NOT SENSITIVE WEEED!!!! See the same stuff around here in Cairns. I would be tying those grass trees up with a strip of rag/something then gently (low pressure) hit the buggers with some glypho. Probably need to do it quite a few times until all the seeds have germinated.

    It could be Caltrop (Tribulus terrestris)
    https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/pest-pla...ou-should-know

    2,4-D will kill it off or round up at 10ml/L

    It is definitely not sensitive plant (mimosa)
