Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Introduced warm-season annual strongly-scented tufted C4 grass; stems are to 60 cm tall and nodes often have a brown ring of glands below them. Leaves are hairless, with margins sometimes lined with glands and rigid 3 mm long hairs occur either side of the ligule. Flowerheads are contacted or open panicles 7-18 cm long; hairs are restricted to the axils of the main branches and lower axils sometimes have a brown ring of glands below them. Spikelets are 2-4 mm wide, 4-35-flowered, flattened, unawned and with lemmas 2-2.5 mm long; a depression runs down the midline on both sides. Flowers in summer. A native of Europe, it is a weed of disturbed areas of agriculture and habitation (e.g. crops, sown pastures, gardens, roadsides and waste areas). Generally a nuisance weed, but can be competitive at times in newly sown pastures and crops. Not very palatable; eaten by stock when young but becomes unpalatable after flowering; gives off an offensive odour which deters livestock. Prevention of seeding for 2-3 years eliminates the seed bank. Controls can include: heavy grazing when young, slashing at flowering, grazing and fertility management to increase the density and competitiveness of pastures, hand removal and the use of registered herbicides. |
