T~\OWNY brome-grass (Bromus tectorum L.), often •'-' called wild oats, is a serious problem on the sandy and gravelly soils of southern Michigan. It is especially troublesome in hayfields, more particularly old stands of alfalfa. The plant heads early and develops seed before the first cutting of alfalfa is made. This article reports a study of the seed habits of downy bromegrass and an experiment designed to control the weed by chemicals.
