Extract

Barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv. ♯3 ECHCG], originally from Europe and India, now ranges from latitude 50 N to 40 S, in both temperate and tropical habitats (12). It is a serious weed problem in 42 countries and is found in at least 27 more (11). It is the world's principal weed of rice (12) and likely has been for a long time: barnyardgrass is recognizable in Chinese drawings from 1590 (13).
