Goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.), a C4 grass found in most areas of the world, is one of the most troublesome weeds in tropical and temperate environments. Turfgrass systems are intensely managed and frequently used for a number of different sporting pursuits. Due to high traffic, these areas become compacted and maintaining a healthy sward of dense turfgrass can be challenging, as a result these areas can become infested with weeds such as goosegrass. Understanding a weeds life cycle and biology is fundamental in developing control strategies.
