More info for the terms: cool-season, graminoid
Quackgrass is a cool-season, exotic, perennial, rhizomatous graminoid.
Its stems are erect, decumbent, and may reach heights of 1 to 3 feet
(0.3-1 m) but more commonly grow to 0.25 to 1 inch (0.5-2 cm) high
[18,21]. Quackgrass is green to whitish, with hirsute to nonhirsute
leaves and awned or nonawned lemmas [18,26]. Rhizomes can grow 23
inches (60 cm) or more from the main shoot before sending out stems [36]
and grow as deep as 8 inches (20 cm) [26]. Dahlberg [12] described how
to identify seeds of the Agropyron genus to distinguish between
desirable and undesirable species.
Elymus repens is prey of:
Tetramesa linearis
Tetramesa hyalipennis
Tetramesa comuta
