Johnson Grass Control in Sugarcane
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Extract
In Louisiana approximately 300,000 acres of sugarcane are grown each year for the manufacture of sugar. Another 125,000 acres are necessary for the rotation program, making approximately 425,000 acres devoted to the production of cane. Of these, 100,000 acres were estimated in 1950 to be so badly infested with Johnson grass (Fig. 1) that a control program was necessary to obtain economic yields of cane. In addition to this acreage, headlands, ditchbanks, and roadsides of many additional plantations were infested with Johnson grass and constituted a potential threat to the cane fields.
