Questions about how to get rid of the garden porter, are relevant where you have to use new plots or those that are fertilized with litter and contain the seeds of this plant in large quantities. The plant is one-year-old, afraid of frosts and multiplies by seeds, whose germination is comparable to the seeds of the known weed grasses - wheatgrass, quinoa, lobster, amaranth (known to us under the name "shirica"). It has a core root and a high capacity for vegetative reproduction.
Weed porridge garden - annualherbaceous plant with fleshy, strongly branching stems, wedge-shaped leaves resembling a scapula, and bisexual sessile yellow flowers. The root is slightly branched. Its shape depends on the soil in which it is necessary to grow portolaku. The fruit is a box with small seeds, which after drying cracks and spreads them for a distance of up to 2 meters around the mother plant.
It is curious that portralak is in all the reference books of medicinal herbs. It uses both a stem and seeds. Blossoms portolac, from June to frosts.
The plant completely can not stand the shade and is goodgrows only in open solar areas. In addition, it has high-efficiency C-4 photosynthesis and waxed leaves and stems, which allows it to grow rapidly on soils with low nutritional content and not suffer from excessive insolation. Blooming portolac eagerly visit bees, especially in dry summers, when other meados are inaccessible.
Handbooks of medicinal plants recommendPortolac garden as a means of accelerating the heart rhythm, increasing pressure, dilating blood vessels.

A little bit of such unusual and usefulweed like a gardener. How to get this plant, you can understand from the peculiarities of its cultivation. Portulac rarely grows even in partial shade. Therefore, planting trees and bushes an open site, where there is a mighty locust, you will quickly get rid of this plant.
The seeds of this plant are remarkably tenacious andcan maintain germination in the earth to 40 years. Large bushes of portalak for a season can give up to 3 million small seeds, which are effectively scattered by cracking boxes. Do not leave the collected plants on the site, if they have green boxes. Seeds also ripen well in them, and already this year at a temperature of 25 to 30 degrees shoots again appear.
However, of the millions of seeds that have risen, onlyunits survive to fruiting. Portulac - the plant is fragile, at a young age afraid of spring frosts. However, adult specimens leave well if cut off at the soil level. They give a powerful lateral growth from sleeping buds, which are located at a depth of 2 cm from the surface of the earth. That's why it's better to pull out the plants with the root.
Another reason why you should clean uptorn off weeds from the site, is the ability of the porter's garden to root with green cuttings and leaves. Broken in the node shoots in wet weather form air roots and well acclimatized.

A similar situation is observed when tryingto use a cultivator. All the ways in which the canola is divided into parts, do not destroy this weed, but increase its quantity on the site.

It's unlikely that you will be satisfied with the answer to this question. The presence of a waxy coating on the leaves of the portolaka provides him with high resistance to chemicals. There is an opinion that higher doses of poisons help, but they fall into the soil and harm cultural plants, and also find themselves in vegetables and greens. Therefore, herbicides are the least effective in this case.
Knowing the characteristics of growth allows you to fight againstweeds most effectively and without harm to the environment. For example, provoking watering is good. It is held two weeks before sowing or planting of cultivated plants. The site is excavated and watered until emergence of weed emergence. Then they are chopped to the maximum possible depth and removed.
Deep digging is also effective. Seeds of pestilence can germinate only if they are not deeper than 2 cm from the soil surface. When they get to a great depth, they do not sprout.
A good method of combating pestilence is also mulching soil. To do this, you can use straw, sawdust, hay. The depth of the mulching layer must be at least 4-5 cm.
If your site has captured a seahorse,Control measures should include the timely collection and destruction of plants, spring digging of the site, preferably performed before the end of night frost, the removal of weeds before tying the seeds.
