damn weeds

I am looking for an effective broadleaf herbicide that won't kill the young poppies growing under and around the weeds. Any suggestions?
The weeds grow faster than the poppies and block the sun, stunting them.
Thanks - dog

A seemingly obvious solution, but it does not address my question.
Does anyone care to offer some useful information?

this is some pretty usefull information you have been given. If you can't be bothered puling the weeds out, how can you be bothered growing poppies at all? i think this would be the more practical way to get around your problem, unless you have a whole field full of poppies. and being better for the environment, you're killing two birds with one stone.

I have a friend that uses black plastic sheeting in his fields. He pokes holes where he wants to plant.

This is all fascinating but it has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this thread, which is broadleaf herbicides that will not harm poppies.
Does such a thing even exist?

Apparently not.
An extensive search of the web turned up nothing.

no, nothing like that exists. ask monsanto to engineer some round-up ready poppies for you; do you understand what an herbicide is and how it works?

if you till and ammend the ground well enough your poppies should have a fighting chance against the weeds. you then weed the weeds when you thin the poppies. dont forget to save your poppy sprouts for salad as they taste great. they wont do anything but taste damn good. waste not.
