What is this plant?

Thank you for your submission. This plant species is known as African Lovegrass. Managing African lovegrass is not an easy task and requires an integrated approach to be effective. The best option is to prevent establishment in the first place. In clean areas, be vigilant and control any small infestations. Management should aim to maintain the vigour, persistence and competitiveness of desirable pasture species. Re-sowing pastures is expensive so appropriate management to maintain them over the long term needs to be employed. For effective long-term control of larger areas of African lovegrass, an integrated program of spraying, sowing and pasture management must be used. The main control principle is to ensure the weed is replaced by better species. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact our office.
