So without further ado, let&rsquo;s learn to  identify this weed which bears the Latin name of Ambrosia  artemisiifolia. Once unmasked to fight against this problem, simply  enforce the uprooting or cutting short just before flowering. THERE is  no risk of allergic reaction to touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The appearance of ragweed<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ragweed - appearance\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pq.poumon.ca\/_images\/specific\/diseases-maladies\/asthma-asthme\/apparence.jpg\" alt=\"L'herbe \u00e0 poux - son apparence\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"94\" height=\"125\" align=\"left\" \/>Ragweed with its hairy stem and leaves of a greyish green.<\/div>\n<p>What is  it like this annual plant, responsible for the uncomfortable hay fever?  She looks rather harmless and resembles almost any weed. So its asset:  knowledge go unnoticed!<\/p>\n<p>The  ragweed reaches an average height of 70 cm. The stem, covered with hair,  is topped with sheets of grayish green, thin and tightly cropped. They  are opposed to the base and alternate at the top. During the months of  June and July, the plant is covered with tiny green flowers shaped ear  grouped at ends of stems. In August, flowering bursts to let fly into  the air billions of pollen grains. And now, the damage is done!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Urban housing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To  eliminate ragweed, it is still necessary to know where she is housed.  The reaction promotes coexistence and flourished in colonies, encouraged  by the rays of the sun.<\/p>\n<p>The  ragweed seems to have a penchant for right-of railroads, edges of  sidewalks, construction sites, poorly maintained land, a piece of bare  earth where calcium has burned the grass in a corner of the garden where  the soil has been disturbed. It grows as &#8230; a weed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Symptoms rather unpleasant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Casually,  the ragweed causes great discomfort to more than 17.5% of our  population.

This plant bears trifoliate  leaves and hard fruit ranging in color from yellow to dull white. These  leaves are almost smooth, glossy and sometimes alternate on a woody  stem. His contact with the skin causes itchy skin immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Ragweed,  meanwhile, presents no danger to the touch and can be pulled at any  time without consequence.

The simplest is to snatch it. It&rsquo;s  easy to do since it has a poorly developed root system. But beware! It  is essential to perform the operation in June or July at the latest,  that is to say, before flowering.<\/p>\n<p>Regularly  maintain his lawn. Mainly mowing evenly along the ground making sure to  line the exposed corners, are all ways to prevent the emergence of this  weed.<\/p>\n<p>While  grubbing remains the means of destruction over the practice, one can, in  the case of land covered with grass, ragweed, shave regularly ground  undesirables.
