Prevention Control
Because seeds
can be carried
by shoes and
vehicles, it is
important to
clean off any
debris before
leaving areas
infested with
slender
falsebrome.
Small patches of slender
falsebrome can be dug up in
April and early May. Mowing
in June will prevent the
plant from resprouting the
next year. For larger
infestations, non-selective
or grass-specific herbicide
should be used. Intensive
grazing is also an efficient
suppression method.
Where
Slender falsebrome
dominates forest
understories and
open grasslands.
This invader can be
found year round
but flowers from
early July into
August. Mature
spikelets can be
seen through
October.
This New Invasive is a SERIOUS Threat!
