DESCRIPTION:
Junglerice, a summer annual grass, is 2 to 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) tall. Widely
distributed throughout California, it infests all summer annual crops and waste
areas. Cotyledons (seed leaves) are grayish or dull green. It is closely related to barnyardgrass and looks similar except for the
distinctive purple bands on leaves. These bands may even be present on seedlings.
There are no auricles or ligules in the collar region. Sharp-pointed, awnless
spikelets are crowded alternately on branches. It germinates throughout the
summer and may appear after a preplant treatment of dinitroaniline herbicides
has dissipated.
