	Publication: Downy Brome Control
		Being a winter annual, downy brome is a constant threat to winter wheat, alfalfa, and rangeland.
		Downy brome is a palatable grass before the seed heads emerge but becomes unpalatable with maturity.
		Downy brome is a winter annual that usually begins growing in the fall or early spring.

	Downy brome
		Downy brome (Bromus tectorum), also commonly known as cheatgrass and Junegrass, is an annual or typically a winter annual belonging to the Poaceae family.
		Downy brome plants stand from 5 to 60 cm tall and are covered with soft hairs at all growth stages.
		Downy brome evolved in a rangeland situation and is therefore adapted to that type of environment.

		Downy brome is an introduced species from Europe and has spread throughout most of the U.S. It is thought that it was first introduced to North America in St. Louis around 1850 from soil that was used as ballast in ships.
		As a weed, downy brome is considered the worst weed of winter wheat grown in the western U.S. Its root system continues growth during the winter extracting valuable moisture from the soil's upper layers.
		Studies have shown that downy brome's roots can grow at a minimum temperature of 37 degrees F. Animals grazing the nearly mature awns may be injured due to puncturing the lining in the mouth, throat and intestines, resulting in reduced food consumption and weight loss.

		Downy brome infestations were higher in conservation tillage winter wheat-fallow rotations than in conventionally grown wheat-fallow or in conservation tillage systems incorporating barley, canola, or spring wheat.
		In the wheat-fallow rotations, downy brome populations differed between plow (treatment 6) and chisel (treatments 1 and 2), especially in the last year at the Gilliland site where chiselled plots that did not receive fall stubble disking had much greater levels of downy brome than moldboard plowed plots (Table 1).

	Downy Brome Heads Out Early
		Downy brome is a winter annual typically germinating in the fall.
		In 1999, downy brome panicles were sampled weekly at nine locations from winter wheat growing regions of the western U.S. The samples taken from the nine sites produced seed after 1003 GDD on average, ranging from 854 to 1161 GDD.
		The GDD accumulated to date is barely half the values reported for the first seed set in 1999 and downy brome heads have emerged 2 to 3 weeks earlier than last year.
