Alternative Names. The generic name Sporobolus derives from the Greek words sporos meaning seed and bolos meaning to throw, referring to how the seeds are squeezed out of the fruits at maturity (Quattrocchi, 2006; Clifford and Bostock, 2007), which is reflected in one of the English common names ‘dropseed’. S. africanus has a C4 photosynthetic pathway of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase subtype (Campbell et al., 1999). S. africanus is generally found in the tropics and subtropics, occasionally in temperate regions, with annual rainfalls of at least 700 mm (Campbell et al., 1999).

In Australia, S. africanus can be confused with the native S. elongatus (Burbidge, 1970), as well as the other weedy sporobolus grasses; it differs from S. indicus in its narrow, denser inflorescences and larger spikelets, and from S. fertilis in its larger spikelets and by the inflorescence branches being more appressed at the base (Mallett, 2005).

It is a grass of low palatability and regarded in Australia as a very serious and declared weed. A molecular phylogeny and new subgeneric classification of Sporobolus (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Sporobolinae). Revision of the genus Sporobolus (Poaceae, Chloridoideae) in Australia. Abstract Ratstail (Sporobolus africanus) is a perennial weed grass commonly found in hill and coastal country pastures of the warmer parts of New Zealand.On dry, sunny faces it can become completely dominant. In Nigeria, it is a weed of plantation crops (Komolafe, 1976). Despite considerable advancements in the taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Sporobolus over the past two decades, there are still issues in identification that could be clarified with further work using the most recent techniques of DNA analysis and relating these studies to morphological characters suitable for field identification. The other breed known by An identification tool for the A ustralian w eedy Sporobolus species based. One agent, the smut Ustilago sporoboli-indici was fully screened but rejected because of attack on Australian native Sporobolus species (Yobo et al., 2009). Trials and management factors are described which indicate that spraying with dalapon at 1.5 lb in 25 gal water/ac eradicates S. africanus. Clayton, S. africanus (Poir.)

For example, research conducted by Palmer (2012) investigated the potential efficacy of the leaf smut fungus ( Ustilago sporoboli indici ) as a biological control agent to manage three weedy Sporobolus grasses ( S. africanus ; S. natalensis and S. pyramidalis ) present in Australia Although the smut fungus provided some activity against the .

It established successfully around Sydney (hence its common name in Australia of Parramatta grass, Parramatta being a suburb of Sydney) and then spread to other coastal areas. South Africa. Herbicide-treated pastures can be oversown with suitable species to prevent reinfestation by S. africanus and to restore pasture quality. It reduces pasture productivity and causes significant degradation of natural areas. S. africanus is an erect, tough, caespitose, perennial tussock grass usually growing to 60 cm in height, but up to 1.1 m.
