Poison Ivy commands respect. Spray it, weed whack it, dig it, burn it, nuke it ... doesn't matter, it will grow back!
What's your most hated weed?

Personally it is poison oak and after many years, I have eradicated 98% of it on 25 acres

Marijuana. We spend billions of dollars to eradicate, and nothing seems to work.

Two that I'm currently battling are Himalayan blackberry and scotch broom. The blackberry succumbs pretty readily to Crossbow herbicide with only a few spot applications afterward for lingering volunteers.
The scotch broom is a tangled mess that's well over six feet high. I'm stumbling into it with a brush saw in the afternoons after work and piling the pieces high for burning but some of the plants are at least 2 inches thick at the base requiring daily sharpening of the saw blade. After cutting, there's the little stumps to deal with that will put a hole in my tractor tires very easily.

Boone, I don't think I could make it out alive from that ragweed patch, unless I had a full respirator on. That is a bad one.:shocked:

Japanese Silt Grass, it can double its area every 7 to 14 days. Kill it with expensive weed killer but seeds bank will reproduce for 5 or more years.
Most of the Eastern US is a lost cause. Only try to contain it in areas sprayed. According to NC State University it reduces tree reproduction by 40%
Particularly Hard Woods that support wild life.

I can't decide between Johnson grass and ragweed. They're both awful.
