Invasive Digitaria Grasses Threaten Crop Yields and Aesthetics Worldwide.
Digitaria spp. are common weedy plants found in disturbed areas worldwide. The species Digitaria ciliaris, Digitaria ischaemum, and Digitaria sanguinalis can harm crop yield and the appearance of lawns if left unchecked. While herbicides are often used to control these plants, other methods like biological, cultural, and mechanical tactics can also be effective.
