Downy Brome is a grassy weed that can grow in lawns and poses challenges for livestock producers. This winter annual thrives in various soil types with a shallow root system adapted for water extraction. Come spring, this plant will absorb any available moisture before the local grasses can, release thousands of seeds to spread rapidly, potentially harm livestock, and pose fire hazards as the season’s generation dies out.

Downy Brome, also known as Cheatgrass, will grow from 3 to 18 inches in height depending on the moisture available. During fall when the plant germinates, it stays low to the ground and is barely noticeable. When spring comes around, the plant absorbs any moisture it can get and grows to height. Downy Brome grows distinctive drooping seedheds with 10 to 18-millimeter-long spikelets. These awns are rough, puncturing and scratching skin, and if ingested, it can even cut the animal’s intestines. The leaves are soft and hairy.

Mature Downy Brome turns brownish-red, dropping seeds for the next generation. After producing seed, the plant dies.

Downy Brome thrives in loose, sandy, moist soils, mainly in ranges, pastures, along railroads, and in abandoned sandy fields, parks, mined land, and barren areas. It often dominates infertile soil stressed by factors like wildfires, overgrazing, or other causes.

Downy Brome is easily identifiable when it matures and develops its drooping seedheads. If it's early in the plant’s growth cycle, recall where the weed grew the previous season.

Downy Brome is an annual weed, so you don’t have to worry about a taproot living through multiple treatment applications. If you completely control one generation before it can produce seeds, then no future generations can thrive.

To get rid of downy brome established on your property, we recommend you use Eraser 41% Glyphosate. This product is a non-selective herbicide, so be careful during application. We recommend you use this product with a marking dye like Vision Pro Max and that you mix and apply your solution with a handheld pump sprayer.

Before any application, calculate the square footage of your treatment area. Use this value to determine how much product to use. For spot treatments, mix 2.5 fluid ounces of eraser into 1 gallon of solution to treat 300 square feet. If you’re adding Vision Pro Max marking dye, this product is highly concentrated, so you’ll only need 1/10 of a fluid ounce per 1 gallon of solution.

Use a fan or cone spray pattern to ensure the plants leaves are fully coated. Spot spray any downy brome you’ve spotted on your property. You should start to see affected plants die within 2 to 4 days, but you may make a reapplication after 7 to 10 days if the weed is particalurly hardy.

Eraser is a non-selective herbicide and will kill whatever you spray, so be careful when applying near or over turf grass. Areas with turgrass may be reseeded 7 days after application.

For the best results, apply Eraser over Downy Brome in the fall or early spring before seeds are produced.
