Control of Pennisetum clandestinum, Kikuyugrass

Weeds, 1961
Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. is a vigorous fast growing grass introduced into sub-tropical areas of the United States from tropical Africa in approximately 1920. It has been used for soil erosion control and turf to a limited extent in California. However, in many places it has become a serious weed.

Effect of nitrogen on the oxalate and calcium content of Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinumHochst)

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1990
The effect of the nitrogen content of Kikuyu grass on the oxalate and calcium content of leaf and stem material was investigated. The bio-availability of calcium in the herbage tended to decrease with an increase in nitrogen content of the grass. Illustrates with tables; The effect of the nitrogen content of Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) on ...

Physiological mechanisms for the rapid growth of Pennisetum clandestinum in Mediterranean climates

Weed Research, 1996
Summary Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst ex Chiov. (kikuyugrass) is a C4 grass that has become an invasive weed in temperate climates. We examined ecophysiological mechanisms that have allowed it to become a successful weed in these locations by comparing P. clandestinum and two other common turigrass species, Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (tall fescue cv.

The influence of ruminant digestion on the germination of Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. Ex Chiov.

, 1989
Approximately half of the viable Pennisetum clandestinum seed fed to sheep was found to be viable after passing through the digestive system. 82% of the viable seed was excreted within 28 hours of ingestion with no viable seed being excreted after 52 hours after ingestion.

Kikuyugrass (Pennisetum clandestinum) Management in Turf

Weed Technology, 1993
Kikuyugrass is an invasive, perennial weed of turf-grass in California. Currently, complete renovation of infested turf is the most practical means of control. A less disruptive method was needed to reduce the competitive ability of kikuyugrass while allowing the regrowth of desirable turf species. Treatment with MSMA, triclopyr, and quinclorac did not

Pennisetum clandestinum (Kikuyu grass).

2021
Abstract P. clandestinum is an aggressive perennial plant, spreading by rhizomes below ground, especially by long runners above ground, and it also sets seed. It is native to the highlands of eastern Africa but has been widely introduced elsewhere for forage and for soil conservation.

Ecophysiology of Pennisetum clandestinum: a valuable salt tolerant grass

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2013
a b s t r a c t High concentrations of sodium are toxic to most plant species, making soil salinity a major abiotic stress for plant productivity world-wide. Its salinity resistance makes the turf grass Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst (kikuyu grass) a candidate plant for utilization and reclamation of salinized areas. Kikuyu grass, a perennial native to

Maintaining the nutritive value ofpennisetum clandestinumfor milk production

Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1979
The amount of milk which can be produced by cows grazing Pennisetum clandestinum (kikuyu) is dependant on several management factors. These factors relate to the nutritive value and intake of the herbage on offer and include palatability, TDN, protein ...

The production potential ofpennisetum clandestinumin the midlands and on the south coast of natal

Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1979
Growth curves from two sources of nitrogen at levels ranging from 0 kg N to 240 kg N/ha indicated DM yields of 2 000 kg/ha to 13 000 kg/ha from Pennisetum clandestinum at various localities in the Natal region.

Foggage value of kikuyu (pennisetum clandestinumhochst. ex chiov.)

Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1973
Investigations to determine whether frosted kikuyu could supply better quality foggage than natural pasturage in sourveld areas during the winter months revealed that this grass was characterised by a crude protein content of 8 - 10% in the winter months.
