    Regulation Notes:

    • Echinochloa colona is listed as a Harmful Organism by Grenada, Paraguay, and The Republic of Korea (USDA-PCIT 2024).
    • Echinochloa colonum is listed as a Harmful Organism by Grenada (USDA-PCIT 2024).

    Distribution :

    Répartition :

    Echinochloa colona is native to Old World tropical and subtropical regions, although the exact origin is not known (POWO 2024). The species is now widespread throughout all tropical and subtropical regions of the world and warm regions of Asia, Africa, Australia, Pacific island nations, North, Central and South America, typically at lower elevations from sea level to 2000 m (Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014).

    Habitat and Crop Association :

    Habitat et Cultures Associées :

    Echinochloa colona is a common weed found in gardens, pastures, along waterways, lake and pond margins, wetlands and other moist habitats, in disturbed areas, and along roadsides in warm regions worldwide (Barkworth et al. 2003; DiTomaso and Healy 2007; Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014; efloras 2024). In agriculture, E. colona is reported as a weed associated with at least 35 crops in more than 60 countries (Holm et al. 1977). E. colona is often found in Oryza sativa L. (rice) fields (Holm et al. 1977; deWet et al. 1983; Barkworth et al. 2003; DiTomaso and Healy 2007).

    Economic Use, cultivation area, and Weed Association :

    Utilisation économique, zone de culture et association de mauvaises herbes :

    Echinochloa colona is a highly palatable fodder for livestock. In tropical and subtropical regions, the mature plants can be cut up to four times during the wet season or in rice fields whole plants of E. colona are removed and the collected plants are fed to livestock (Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014). The grain of some forms of E. colona is reportedly cultivated and used for human consumption, as are young seedlings (Simpson and Ogorazaly 2001; Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014; PFAF 2024).

    General Information

    RENSEIGNEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX

    Echinochloa is a genus of 40 – 50 species found in tropical to warm-temperate wet or damp environments. Many of the species tend to intergrade, are highly variable, and can be difficult to distinguish (Barkworth et al. 2003; DiTomaso and Healy 2003; Mohler et al. 2021).

    Reproduction in Echinochloa colona is primarily by seed, however, the plants also have the ability to reproduce vegetatively via stem fragments separated from the mother plant that produce adventitious roots when nodes come in contact with soil (Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014). Seeds are dispersed by wind, water, clinging to animals and farm equipment, and as a seed lot contaminant (Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014; USDA-ARS 2024). E. colona plants can produce up to 42,000 seeds with a potential to remain viable for about 3 years in waterlogged conditions (Raju and Reddy 1989).

    Herbicide resistance has been reported in some populations of E. colona in all Central American countries, Colombia, Venezula, Australia (Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014).

    Additional Botany Information

    AUTRES RENSEIGNEMENTS BOTANIQUES

    Flowers/Inflorescence

    • The inflorescence of Echinochloa colona is a panicle, up to 15 cm long, with several simple branches, 1- 3 cm long, pointed upwards, slightly spreading or pressed against the main axis, spaced up to 1 cm apart near the base of the inflorescence and more crowded towards the top (DiTomaso and Healy 2007; Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014).
    • Spikelets are tightly spaced and arranged in four rows along one side of the branch (DiTomaso and Healy 2007; Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo-Rodriguez 2014).

    Similar Species

    ESPÈCES SEMBLABLES

    Similar species are based on a study of seed morphology of various species, and those with similar dispersal units are identified. The study is limited by physical specimen and literature availability at the time of examination, and possibly impacted by the subjectivity of the authors based on their knowledge and experience. Providing similar species information for seed identification is to make users aware of similarities that could possibly result in misidentification.

    In the genus Echinochloa, most of the important measurable characters overlap somewhat among species (Costea and Tardif 2002). Only the characters considered most useful are described below for separating dispersal units of some similar species from E. colona.

    Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.
    [Panicum crus-galli L. (USDA-ARS 2024)
    Barnyardgrass (AOSA 2024; Walters 2011; USDA-NRCS 2024)
    Barnyard grass (Barkworth et al. 2003; USDA-ARS 2024)

    • The glumes and sterile floret lemma of E. crus-galli are papery and the nerves typically have stiff, spike-like hairs, whereas in E. colona the glumes and sterile floret lemma are very thin and papery, covered with short soft hairs, and the hairs along the nerves are long and stiff but not thick and spine-like.
    • The sterile floret lemma of E. crus-galli is usually awned, and if present, the awn can be up to 50 mm long. The sterile floret lemma of E. colona is awnless.
    • In E. crus-galli fertile lemma, the transition from hard, shiny body to withered tip has a line of tiny hairs marking the transition, whereas the transition area in E. colona lacks the line of hairs.
    • The caryopses of E. crus-galli are usually larger (1.2 – 2.4 mm long, 1 – 1.8 mm wide) compared to those of E. colona that are generally smaller in size (1.2 – 1.6 mm long, 1.0 – 1.3 mm wide) (Barkworth et al. 2003).
    • The caryopses of E. crus-galli are brownish-red or brownish-grey coloured, whereas the caryopses of E. colona are yellowish or whitish coloured (Costea and Tardif 2002; Barkworth et al. 2003).

     

    Echinochloa esculenta (A. Braun) H. Schol
    [Panicum esculentum A. Braun); E. crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv. subsp. utilis (Ohwi & Yabuno) T. Koyama; E. utilis Ohwi & Yabuno (Yabuno 1962; USDA-ARS 2024)]
    Japanese barnyard grass (Scholz 1992)
    Japanese millet (Wiersema and Léon 1999; Barkworth et al. 2003; USDA-ARS 2024; USDA-NRCS 2024)

    • The spikelets of E. esculenta are larger (3 – 4 mm long, 2 – 2.5 mm wide; Barkworth et al. 2003) than those of E. colona (2.3 – 3.2 mm, 1.1 – 2.0 mm wide).
    • The spikelets of E. esculenta are usually dark brownish to purplish at maturity (Hoste and Verloove 2022), while those of E. colona are pale green to brownish yellow coloured, and sometimes purple tinged.
    • The sterile floret lemma may be awned in E. esculenta, although awned spikelets are rare (Hoste and Verloove 2022), while the sterile lemma in E. colona is unawned.
    • The caryopses in E. esculenta are longer (1.2 – 2.3 mm) and brown coloured (Barkworth et al. 2003), whereas the caryopses in E. colona are shorter (1.2 – 1.6 mm; Barkworth et al. 2003) and light yellow to whitish in coloured.
    • E. esculenta is a cultivated species believed to have been originally derived from E. crus-galli about 4000 years ago in Japan (Yabuno 1962; deWet et al. 1983). It is used for cereal grain, fodder, and birdseed (deWet et al. 1983; Barkworth et al. 2003).

     

    Echinochloa frumentacea Link
    Siberian millet (Barkworth et al. 2003)
    White panic (Barkworth et al. 2003)

    • Spikelets of E. frumentacea are generally larger (3 – 3.5 mm long; Barkworth et al. 2003) than those of E. colona (usually 3 mm or less; Costea and Tardif 2002; Barkworth et al. 2003; eFloras 2024).
    • Although the caryopses of E. frumentacea and E. colona are both yellowish to whitish coloured, caryopses of E. frumentacea are larger (1.7 – 2.2 mm long, 1.6 – 1.8 mm wide; Barkworth et al. 2003) than E. colona (0.9 – 1.6 mm long, 0.7 – 1.3 mm wide; Costea and Tardif 2002; Barkworth et al. 2003).
    • E. frumentacea is believed to have been originally derived from E. colona in India, and possibly Africa (Yabuno 1962; deWet et al. 1983; Barkworth et al. 2003). This cultivated species is grown for cereal grain, fodder, beer brewing, and for birdseed (Barkworth et al. 2003).
