				Barnyard Grass - Echinochloa crus-galli Family: Poaceae THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION Status: Invasive Location info Barnyard grass is a weed of Eurasian origin that occurs throughout the continental United States. It is also found in southern Canada from British Columbia east to Novia Scotia. Info: Barnyard grass is readily grazed by livestock in Arizona and West Virginia, and can be cultivated for hay. Seeds of barnyard grass are eaten by songbirds, waterfowl, and greater prairie chickens. Barnyard grass is an important source of food and cover for waterfowl in the Sacramento Valley. In the playa lakes of Texas and New Mexico, meadows dominated by barnyard grass are important habitat for waterfowl and pheasant. Management Generally, seed yields from barnyard grass stands are reduced in 2 to 3 years because of competition with other weeds. In Missouri, natural seeding of barnyard grass was stimulated by periodic draining and flooding of a wetland site; a July 1 to September 15 drawdown produced an excellent stand of barnyard grass which was utilized by waterfowl. In California, draining barnyard grass fields in the spring and discing them can benefit stands. At the Mendota Waterfowl Management Area, California, this practice has been used to perpetuate stands of barnyard grass for up to 6 years.
