50+ Exotic Yellow Foxtail Grass Seeds-Wild Millet- Setaria Glauca- Golden Foxtail-G061
Annual Summer Plant Yellow foxtail is native to Europe, but can now be found throughout the United States and most of Canada. It mainly grows in the same areas where green foxtail is found and heavily competes with grains, vegetables, row crops, vineyards, and orchards. In addition to crowding out crops, an overabundance of yellow foxtail can lead to abnormal growth in surrounding species due to taking up the soil’s nutrients. Tomatoes and cabbage may be especially affected by yellow foxtail, as studies have shown that the weed is capable of allelopathy. This phenomenon occurs when invasive plants release biochemicals through their roots to reduce competition from nearby species. Setaria glauca, commonly known as yellow foxtail, is an annual summer weed with shallow roots that is usually found in pasture and turf areas. Many confuse it for green foxtail, which looks similar but has a thinner stem and longer bristles. Another weed that looks similar is knotroot foxtail. The seed head of yellow foxtail is spiky, yellow-green in color, and contains numerous bristles on each seed. Its ligule and leaf margins have dense hair fringes, while the leaf blades of yellow foxtail have longer hairs.
