Summary
[edit]DescriptionNassella neesiana plant17 (10835306554).jpg | Introduced, cool-season, perennial, tufted grass to 80 cm tall. Stem nodes are covered in short hairs. Leaves are to 5 mm wide, with a strongly ribbed and hairy upper surface. Flowerheads are contracted to loosely open panicles to 40 cm long. Spikelets are 1-flowered and have 2 purplish glumes. Lemmas (6-10 mm long) are hairy in the lower half and have a ring of tissue (corona) at the base of the 4-9 cm long, bent and twisted awn. Spikelets are also formed at the base of the plant and at nodes along the flowering stems. Flowers in spring and early summer. A native of South America, it is found on roadsides and in native and sown pastures. Occurs on most soil types, but prefers more fertile soils. A Weed of National Significance, it is highly invasive and produces large persistent seed banks. Its seeds injure stock and downgrade wool, skins and hides. A palatable and reasonable quality feed in winter, but is low quality when flowering. Stocking rates can be reduced by up to 50% during summer. Managed with a combination of methods: fodder and stock hygiene, grazing management, physical removal, pasture sowing and registered herbicides. |
