Extract

Chess, Bromus secalinus L., and downy brome, Bromus tectorum L., are two of the more common and troublesome weedy grasses in the midwest and western states. Downy bromegrass is widely dispersed in Michigan in pastures, meadows, cultivated fields, and roadsides. Chess occurs frequently in grain fields, particularly in the southern part of the state. These two species have been variously described as annual, winter annual, and either annual or winter annual plants.
