Halakhah for Kilayim 2:5

הָיְתָה שָׂדֵהוּ זְרוּעָה קַנְבּוֹס אוֹ לוּף, לֹא יְהֵא זוֹרֵעַ וּבָא עַל גַּבֵּיהֶם, שֶׁאֵינָן עוֹשִׂין אֶלָּא לִשְׁלֹשָׁה שָׁנִים. תְּבוּאָה שֶׁעָלָה בָהּ סְפִיחֵי אִסְטִיס, וְכֵן מְקוֹם הַגְּרָנוֹת שֶׁעָלוּ בָהֶן מִינִין הַרְבֵּה, וְכֵן תִּלְתָּן שֶׁהֶעֱלָה מִינֵי צְמָחִים, אֵין מְחַיְּבִין אוֹתוֹ לְנַכֵּשׁ. אִם נִכֵּשׁ אוֹ כִסַּח, אוֹמְרִים לוֹ, עֲקֹר אֶת הַכֹּל חוּץ מִמִּין אֶחָד:

If a man's field has been sown with hemp, or ‏<i>luf</i> [bulb type plant], he may not sow [on top of them], because they [do not rot and] only produce after three years [anything planted on top would constitute <i>kilayim</i>]. [A field of] grain that an aftergrowth of <i>istis</i> sprouted, similarly, if on the threshing floor different species sprouted [which are harmful to threshing], or if among fenugreek different species have sprouted [which are harmful to the fenugreek] we do not require him to weed them out. If he has weeded or cut them, we must tell him, "Uproot everything except one species."
