Signalgrass (Brachiaria decumbens) is a tropical trailing perennial forage which is native to tropical eastern Africa. It has also been introduced to many different countries throughout the world and is widely distributed in northern and eastern Australia and the southeastern United States. The grass has aggressive growth habits and considered an invasive weed in many areas.
Toxic components Brachiarias is highly palatable to livestock and also highly toxic to horses due to its high oxalate content.
CHEMICAL CONTROL: In-crop systemic herbicides like glyphosate will do a good job controlling what has emerged but have no residual to control later emergence.
