Abstract/Contents: | Offers a brief history of how Cogon grass, Imperata cylindrica, appeared soon after the unpacking of a large shipment of satsuma orange plants from Japan during the winter of 1911-12. It was soon named Japanese grass and later abbreviated to Jap grass. To farmers, it had limited value for forage because of its aggressive weediness and many were searching for an effective method of eradication. |
