Bromus rigidus is an annual plant native to the Mediterranean region and Eurasia. It is characterized by a pubescent stem, wide leaves with sparse hairs, and prominent ligules. The plant produces compact panicles and spikelets with four to five florets. It is mainly wind-pollinated and self-fertile. The species gained notoriety in Australia by the mid-1800s and was formally reported as a weed in 1986. In Australia, it is widespread, often growing alongside Bromus diandrus. It’s considered a noxious weed, particularly in the Mediterranean area, affecting important crops like wheat, barley, and crops in rotation such as sugarbeet, sunflower, chickpea, faba bean, and lentil. Its invasive nature poses a threat to agricultural and horticultural crops, impacting both productivity and biodiversity.
