Jointed goatgrass, Aegilops cylindrica<\/i><\/h1>\n

Also known as cylindrical goatgrass.<\/p>\n

Weed identification:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Seedlings <\/strong>have narrow, grass-like leaves with fine hairs on the leaf margins.<\/li>\n
  • Mature plants<\/strong> are erect, cool-season annual grasses growing 1-3 feet tall.<\/li>\n
  • Stems <\/strong>are hollow and jointed, similar to wheat but often with more hair on each node. Nodes are often harder than wheat.<\/li>\n
  • Inflorescences <\/strong>are a distinct cylindrical spike with multiple segments (joints), each containing one to three seeds.<\/li>\n
  • Seeds <\/strong>are encased within joints of the spike, resembling wheat seeds but enclosed in a rigid, jointed structure. Each seed can produce one or two seedlings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Biology and life cycle:<\/h2>\n

    Growth habit:\u00a0<\/strong>Jointed goatgrass is a winter annual weed species that has a similar growth habit and competitive ability to wheat. Germination takes place in the fall; seedlings overwinter and resume rapid growth in the spring. Plants reach reproductive stages in late summer. Requires cool temperatures for germination, typically emerging in late summer to fall. Dormancy can last 1-3 years, with seeds often persisting in the soil seed bank.<\/p>\n

    Pollination:\u00a0<\/strong>Primarily self-pollinated but capable of limited cross-pollination. Hybridization with wheat is possible, leading to genetic contamination<\/p>\n

    Seed production and viability:\u00a0<\/strong>Produces 50-100 seeds per plant, enclosed within spikelets. Seeds remain attached to the spike, contributing to dispersal through contaminated equipment and grain. Seeds can remain viable in the soil for 2-5 years under favorable conditions; buried seeds persist longer than those on the soil surface.<\/p>\n

    Genetics:\u00a0<\/strong>Jointed Goatgrass has a chromosome designation of CCDD, meaning it inherits two sets of chromosomes from each of its two ancestors. Each set consists of seven chromosomes, totaling 28. In contrast, wheat has three ancestral genomes, resulting in six sets of seven chromosomes.<\/p>\n

    Resistance<\/h2>\n

    Jointed goatgrass has limited confirmed herbicide resistance cases. Resistance to Group 2 (ALS inhibitors) has been reported, but remains rare in this species. There is no widespread documented resistance in Colorado at this time.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Jointed goatgrass inflorescense features (right), compared to wheat inflorescences (left)” image=”https:\/\/agsci.colostate.edu\/agbio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/127\/2025\/04\/3-Jointed-goatgrass-inflorescence.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    Integrated weed management strategies based on Colorado cropping systems:<\/h2>\n

    <\/h3>\n

    Prevention<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Use certified, weed-free wheat seed to prevent contamination<\/li>\n
    • Clean equipment thoroughly between fields to reduce seed spread<\/li>\n
    • Rotate fields with non-host crops like broadleaf species to disrupt lifecycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Cultural control<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Plant competitive wheat varieties to suppress weed establishment in early fall<\/li>\n
      • Adjust planting dates to favor wheat over Jointed Goatgrass emergence<\/li>\n
      • Utilize cover crops to reduce seedling establishment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Mechanical control<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Deep tillage can help bury seeds beyond emergence depth, but minimal tillage reduces seedbank longevity<\/li>\n
        • Mowing before seed set can reduce seed production<\/li>\n
        • Harvest weed seed control (e.g., chaff carts) can help reduce seed return to the soil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Chemical control<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Selective herbicides such as imazamox (Clearfield wheat system) can control jointed goatgrass in wheat<\/li>\n
          • Pre-emergence and post-emergence applications of Group 2 herbicides (ALS inhibitors) can be effective but require rotation to prevent resistance<\/li>\n
          • Tank-mix herbicides with multiple modes of action to reduce selection pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
