The seed (grain) is a 2 mm long caryopsis. The stems are coarse and have a very low nutritive value once they have flowered (FAO, 2011; Stür et al., 1990). Axonopus Compressus. Carpetgrass also features short blades that are rounded at the tip and nodes that are densely hairy. Axonopus è un genere di piante della tribù delle Paniceae (famiglia delle Poaceae o Graminaceae).. Al genere appartengono circa 75 specie: Axonopus affinis; Axonopus anceps; Axonopus argentinus; Axonopus arundinaceus; Axonopus attenuatus; Axonopus aureus [Poaceae].

However, much lower (32%; Holm, 1971a) and much higher in vivo DM digestibility values (75%; Kaligis et al., 1990) have been reported. It is also a useful ground cover (see Environmental impact below) and is used as a lawn grass in tropical and subtropical areas (FAO, 2011; Cook et al., 2005). This may have been related to the lower pasture in vitro OM digestibility (56% for Axonopus compressus vs. 65% for Paspalum notatum) (Aviles-Nova et al., 2008).

Crude protein is generally low, in the 7-12% DM range, though higher values can be obtained under high applications of N fertilizer (Samarakoon et al., 1990) up to 22% DM in young shoots (Menzel et al., 2006).

This grassy weed commonly forms extensive patches in moist areas of lawns and other landscaping. NDF and ADF contents vary from 50 to 77% DM and from 33 to 45% DM respectively. Experiment 2 was carried out by incorporating 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 g L −1 of A. compressus litter leachate into soil. Potential in vitro gas production of Axonopus compressus was low when sampled during the dry season but similar to other grass species during the rainy season (Evitayani et al., 2004b).

A. fissifolius is sometimes confused with A. compressus, but the latter has longer spikelets, 2-2.7 mm long, wider leaves, (6-) 8-10 mm, and culm nodes bearded (glabrous in A. fissifolius). It produces many other lawn weeds at short intervals. They are sometimes rhizomatous and … Env. var. In infertile soils and shaded conditions, blanket grass can invade pastures of higher nutritive value containing grasses such as dallis grass (Paspalum dilatatum), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) or golden millet (Setaria sphacelata) swards (Cook et al., 2005). Perennial grassy weeds live two or more years and have a deeper root structure that can give rise to new weeds—even if you no longer see the weeds in your lawn. ✧ Guarantee applies to full plan customers only. Growth response of eight tropical turfgrass species to salinity. 24. This study investigated the allelopathic effect of Axonopus compressus litter on Asystasia gangetica and Pennisetum polystachion.In experiment 1 the bioassays with 0, 10, 30, and 50 g L −1 of aqueous A. compressus litter leachate were conducted. These perennial grassy weeds can germinate and spread from seeds, but they also produce a root structure (tubers, bulbs or corms) that can birth new weeds from your lawn’s surface (using stolons) or from underground (using rhizomes).
