Native to the US and is a spreader through rhizomes.
Can grow in low pH soil, as low as 3.8 and infertile soil. Wet areas and full sun and up to 4 ft high. Also droughty areas.
It sets seeds September through December and is controlled through mowing before seed set and by non selective herbicide.
Seeds are viable for 5 years with 2 seed crops per year. First crop is an open panicle and the 2nd crop is enclosed in the leaf sheath; that's the later heavy seed crop Sep thru Dec.
It is a very aggressive spreader.
Its not recommended as forage due to its low nutrient content.
I'll try the spot treat with roundup and mowing and see how that goes. We are having a lot of pop up thunderstorms so I just have to hit a window to spray.
My time is also being eaten up by differential case replacement on B1750 Kubota plus the fact its 15 miles away at my moms place. But I can always mow the larger strip of this stuff at the field edge.
Thanks to everyone for their help, maybe this will help someone else.
