ForageFax Weed of the Week: Johnsongrass

Source: ForageFax | May 13, 2019

Johnsongrass
Johnsongrass

Johnsongrass is a warm season perennial grass that is one of the most common and troublesome weeds in agriculture.

It is commonly found on roadsides, pastures and hay fields. It grows erect from 3 to 6 feet. Johnsongrass spreads by seeds and rhizomes (underground stems). The seedhead is a large, open panicle often with a purplish tint.

Johnsongrass leaves have a large white midrib and a smooth, glossy appearance. Stems are smooth with no hairs.

Select Herbicide Options:

Outrider (for bermudagrass pastures and hay meadows, bahiagrass can be injured)

Pastora (for bermudagrass pastures, will destroy bahiagrass)

REMEMBER: THE LABEL IS THE LAW!  Always read the pesticide label before using.

ForageFax is by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Department of Soil & Crop Science, offering timely forage and pasture information.
