Creeping bluegrass (Bothriochloa insculpta)

Invasive weed controller

Creeping bluegrass was reported to be an effective controller of the invasive weed Parthenium hysterophorus in Australia and Pakistan. It can suppress more than 62% of this species in rangelands (Khan et al., 2014).

Soil stabilization and revegetation

In Australia, creeping bluegrass was shown to have great potential for soil stabilization (Truong et al., 1985). It was used for the revegetation of eroded granitic areas in North Queensland (Hall, 1988).
