Extract

Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense L.) is one of the most troublesome weeds in the United States. Since its introduction into the Southeast in 1830, this weed has spread to a total of 38 states. The perennial habit of Johnson grass contributes to its widespread geographical distribution and enables it to survive moderately severe winters. In addition to fleshy rhizomes, Johnson grass is usually a prolific producer of viable seed which may give rise to reinfestations after the established plants are controlled.
