Description
Dandelion is a perennial flowering plant with yellow blooms and a long taproot, allowing it to survive harsh conditions and spread rapidly.
Family: Asteraceae
Type: Perennial
Appearance Season: Spring and summer
Causes
The dandelion spreads mainly through its lightweight, fluffy seeds, which are easily carried by the wind. It can also reproduce through its root system: when roots are cut or disturbed, they can generate new shoots. This hardy plant thrives in a wide range of soils, often in degraded or poorly maintained areas.
Prevention
- Regularly aerate the soil to prevent compaction.
- Fertilize the lawn to improve its density.
- Maintain an optimal mowing height (6-8 cm).
Control
- Manually remove the plants, ensuring the entire root is pulled out.
- Contact us for appropriate treatment in case of a heavy infestation.
