Integrated weed management of feathertop Rhodes grass
April 5, 2024
Feathertop Rhodes grass (Chloris virgata Sw.) (FTR) is one of the most significant weed species in farming systems of the northern grains region due to its widespread distribution, impact on grain yield, and its cost and difficulty to control. This impact is quickly spreading to the southern and western regions.
FTR is well adapted to zero-till farming systems that are highly dependent on post-emergent herbicides. This has resulted in several FTR populations becoming resistant to Group M (glyphosate), and more recently, Group A herbicides.
This updated (2020) manual provides detailed integrated weed management recommendations from research and paddock experience with this important weed.
