Bindii is a low growing herb with carrot-top like leaves, it produces a single flower at its centre, that when matures produces a prickly seed pod. The bindii prickles become easily stuck in our feet and Bindii quickly becomes a weed that everyone hates. Luckily, Bindii can be easily treated and removed by common means.
The continuing life cycle of bindii really can't be controlled by regular lawn mowing since it's seed heads and flowers exist below mowing height, even a Cylinder Lawn Mower with low mowing heights can't really remove the seeds and flowers of bindii effectively.
Hand pulling is an easy and effective treatment for bindii, as well as hoeing over the small seedlings.
Both Selective and Non Selective Herbicides can be used to easily control bindii. Herbicides are readily available at most nurseries, and are usually supplied in a concentrated format which should be diluted with water before application.
