Weed Infestation
 Velvetleaf was introduced from Asia. It is commonly found in rich soils in and around cultivated fields, gardens, and waste areas, causing problems for agriculture. This weed is very difficult to eradicate because the seeds may remain viable for more than 50 years. Before the flower's bloom it may be confused with common sunflowers.
