HOW TO CONTROL CLEAVERS

Cleavers have shallow root systems and are easily pulled out. Use Kiwicare BUSTER to spray and kill cleavers taking care not to spray garden plants.

In organic gardens ORGANIC WEEDFREE RAPID will effectively kill cleavers.

To prevent germination of seed and growth of bulbs, RONSTAR WEEDSTOP can be used in areas once weeds have been cleared.

About

Cleavers is an annual weed that clings strongly to clothing as if it is sticky. The leaves, stems and fruits are actually covered with tiny hooks which help them "stick" to fibres.

It is a climbing and crawling weed with long weak stems. It uses the hooks to climb up over surrounding plants and structures such as fences. The fruits are spread by clinging to animals and then falling off far from away.

 

Did you know
