3) Glyphosate @ 1.5 kg/ha give a good control Dalapon is applied twice, just after the rabi crop harvested and before monsoon to ensure its control. 4) As pre-emergence Atrazine can also be used. Paraquat 1kg /ha is applied 2 weeks before summer tillage to suppress the growth of hariali.

Cynodon dactylon plays an important role in conservation, because it prevents soil erosion. It provides good grazing, is very useful as a lawn grass and is recommended for the protection of waterways. In traditional medicine it is used for indigestion and the treatment of wounds.

The blades are a grey-green colour and are short, usually 2–15 cm (0.79–5.91 in) long with rough edges. The erect stems can grow 1–30 cm (0.39–11.81 in) tall. The stems are slightly flattened, often tinged purple in colour.

Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) spreads by underground stems (rhizomes) and aboveground runners (stolons). It seeds pretty aggressively too. Because it’s so tough and persistent, most professionals and homeowners use an herbicide (generally glyphosate) to kill it.

dactylon spreads rapidly by rhizomes and stolons, and also by seed. It can spread over 2 m/month during the growing season, a single plant forming a dense sward up to 25 m across in 2.5 years.

Cynodon dactylon is a warm-season, prostrate, perennial grass that occurs on almost all soil types. Leaves are gray-green and 1.5-5.9 in. (4-15 cm) long. This grass spreads by scaly rhizomes and flat stolons that allow it to form a dense resilient turf.

The distinguishing characteristics of Cynodon dactylon are the conspicuous ring of white hairs of the ligule, the fringe of hairs on the keel of the lemma, and the gray-green appearance of the foliage.

Bermuda grass can be over seeded with a variety of cool season grasses. Do not over seed Bermuda grass with Tall Fescue or Kentucky Bluegrass since they will last well into summer and compete with your Bermuda grass.

C. dactylon is a stoloniferous grass widely naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This species is a C4 grass included in the Global Compendium of Weeds (Randall, 2012) and it is listed as one of the most “serious” agricultural and environmental weeds in the world (Holm et al., 1977).

dactylon competition decreased total above ground dry weight of crops by about 20-44% (Table 6). Vencill et al. reported that C. dactylon significantly reduced cotton height and yield by about 10% in USA. The reduction of maize root dry weight of 72% was particularly severe.

Notes: Cynodon dactylon var. dactylon is generally recognised as native to Australia. Two varieties are recognised in Victoria primarily based on the number of radiating spikes.

Inflorescence of bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon. Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is a plant that is grown as a turfgrass or as forage for livestock, but it also can be an invasive weed. It was introduced from Africa (not Bermuda) in 1751 and is widely spread throughout the southwest and southern United States.
