Muskweed
Myagrum perfoliatum
Muskweed is considered a serious weed of broadleaf crops such as chickpeas, canola, lupins, faba beans, field peas and lentils. Muskweed can compete strongly with crops thereby reducing yields. It is also a contaminant of seed and hay and creates blockages during harvest. It is tolerant to a range of commonly-used herbicides and has a staggered germination and so will re-establish following pre or post-emergent herbicide treatment. Soil seedbank is thought to last for up to 10 years.
