    What weed is this?

    posted on behalf of a mate and knowing there are some farmer type people here....


    This little beastie has appeared since the floods (in SE Qld). it has some very fine ultra sharp spines. Can anyone identify it? And if so, how do I kill/control it?






    thanks

    It might be this perhaps
    Amaranthus viridus

    but are there other possibilities?

    Try using Grazeon. it will kill the plant but allow the grass to live.
    RoundUp or any glyphosate spray will kill everything around. Even the mist of the spray is very deadly depending on the wind at the time of spraying.
