Johnson grass, also known as Johnsongrass, is a plant in the grass family that is native to Asia and northern Africa. It has been introduced to many parts of the world and is known for its ability to reproduce through rhizomes and seeds. While it has been used for forage and erosion control, it is often considered a weed due to its ability to thrive in various environments, including crop fields, pastures, and forest edges. In some places, it has even developed resistance to common herbicides. The plant is named after an Alabama plantation owner who introduced it to the United States in the mid-1800s. Despite its usefulness as a forage crop, many farmers still view it as undesirable due to its tendency to become "sod bound" and require frequent plowing. A genetic study has shown that the weed was introduced to the US from Alabama and North Carolina, with an additional introduction from Arizona. The plant is also found in Australia, where it is known as a strong and productive grass for cattle.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!Requires Light or Surface Sowing: These seeds need light to germinate and should not be covered with soil or only very lightly. They are often very small and sown directly on the surface of the growing medium. |
germinates best at 30°C |
