Imperata

It grows so well that it is excellent at suppressing vigorous weeds such as Imperata cylindrica.

4: Multipurpose trees 1996

The tree grows well even with competition from vigorous grasses (such as Imperata cylindrica, Saccharum robustum, and Themeda australis).

6. Best-Known Species 1984

On disturbed or burned sites, on degraded oxisols (laterite) underlain with volcanic rock, on soils so worn out that shifting cultivation had been abandoned, and on hillslopes infested with weeds such as Imperata cylindrica and Eupatorium species, mangium has grown vigorously.

Chapter 4 1983

The denuded land is often lost to coarse, almost useless grasses (such as Imperata cylindrica) or to a wilderness of shrubs and scrubby trees of little value to commerce or villagers.

Chapter 4 1983

More recently, plantations have been established even in areas dominated by tenacious tropical weeds such as Imperata grass.

Chapter 3 1983

At present the tamaraw is found primarily in remote areas that have been partly cleared, largely by fire, so that only small pockets of trees remain among coarse grasses such as Imperata cylindrica (a widespread, unpalatable tropical weed commonly called cogon, kunai, alang alang, lalang, or blady grass), and "tahalib" (Saccharum spontaneum).

6 Wild Banteng 1983

Its quick growth, thick canopy, and rapid regrowth leave vigorous weeds, such as Imperata grass, little chance to compete.

1 Introduction and Summary 1983

The deforested land is often lost to coarse, almost useless grasses (such as Imperata cylindrica) or to a wilderness of shrubs and scrubby trees with little or no value to commerce or to villagers.

1 Introduction 1981

You must remove weeds such as Imperata (a herbaceous plant with hard, long, straight leaves and very long roots).

Chapter 5 1977

Vibrant ornamental grasses can also be used in tropical schemes such as Imperata cylindrica 'Rubra', which makes a clump of bright green leaves whose tips turn blood red and then the rest of the leaves follow suit, reddening almost to the base.
