Uses

Use of reed canarygrass in the Pacific Northwest basically began at the turn of the century. Farming commonly followed logging operations and reed canarygrass was frequently used as the “breaking in” crop (Wheeler 1950). Stumps & logging debris and clearing operations left the land unsuitable for planting crops such as small grains. Reed canarygrass was planted in these areas to allow time for the stumps and debris to degrade and be more easily removed at a later date. Reed canarygrass popularity in the Pacific Northwest was a composite of many factors. It is an extremely productive grass. Reports of production far exceeding other grasses are common in the early literature. It is very easy to establish and it persists very well. Most plantings occurred during a period of history when farms were more self-reliant. Livestock were pastured on the farm, and hay was grown on the farm rather than purchased from hay brokers. It was a reliable, productive forage. A second wave of interest in reed canarygrass occurred when wastewater management became an important issue. Reed canarygrass has the ability to respond exceedingly well to applied nutrients and one study showed a yield response to levels as high as 920 pounds N/acre (Schmitt et al. 1999). Zeiders (1976) reported, “reed canarygrass is the most popular species for irrigation with wastewater from municipal and industrial sources as a pollution control measure”. The most recent wave of interest in reed canarygrass is occurring in Europe. Reed canarygrass is being cultivated in northern Europe as a biofuel and about 10,000 acres are in production in Scandinavia (Kätterer et al (1998). It is a plant with many uses. Unfortunately, reed canarygrass has proven to be too aggressive in the Pacific Northwest. It moves out of pastureland and into stream bottoms, wetlands, and canal banks. It persists in areas where it is not desirable and is the bane of wetland restoration.

Description

Reed canarygrass is 2-9 feet tall non-native with flat, rough-textured, tapering leaves from 31/2-10 inches long. The stem is hairless and stands erect. One of the first grasses to sprout in the spring, reed canary grass produces a compact panicle 3-16 inches long that is erect or slightly spreading. The flowers are green to purple early in the season and change to beige over time. The grass forms a thick rhizome system that quickly dominates the soil. There is some debate as to the origin of the species. Sources document native and non-native genotypes of reed canary grass. The non-native strain is thought to be more invasive than native strain. Distribution: For current distribution, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site.

Adaptation

Growth of reed canarygrass begins early in the spring, senescence occurs with summer drought, and limited vegetative growth resumes in the fall if moisture is available. Sprouts will frequently be seen growing in ephemeral ponded water in the spring. Carbohydrate reserves stored in the rhizomes fuel the growth of these sprouts (Hovin et al. 1973). The roots are not contributing to the growth in this situation because the ponding causes an anaerobic condition. If the water remains on the stand for a prolonged period the roots will eventually die because the reducing environment will not only deprive roots of oxygen but will also remove oxygen from the roots. The culms are very tall and individual leaves grow from nodes along the culm. The leaves of the lower culm become light deprived as the plant grows and are replaced with new leaves higher up the culm. If the stand is cut, new leaves will sprout from either rhizomes or from exposed nodes on the shortened culm. Biomass production is exceedingly high (as high as 9 tons/acre) but it requires a tremendous amount of nutrients to sustain this growth. Riparian soils tend to be very rich in nutrients, allowing reed canarygrass to thrive. Limiting its growth by removing nutrients has not been practical on a field scale. Indeed, there are stands that are hayed every year and a large amount of nutrients subsequently removed, and yet these stands continue to proliferate for decades. Reed canarygrass is very competitive once established and will frequently develop a solid monoculture. Tall growth enables reed canarygrass to compete with other herbaceous species by depriving them of light. Native herbaceous species that initiate growth late in the spring are especially impacted by reed canarygrass.

Establishment

Rhizomes account for much of the localized spread of reed canarygrass. Rhizomes grow outwardly from a mother plant until the terminal bud develops a shoot (Evans and Ely 1941). This is unlike quackgrass, which develops shoots all along the rhizome axis. This allows reed canarygrass to rapidly expand its local territory and a single rhizome or stem can infest an entire drainage. Reed canarygrass culms are also capable of rooting and establishing stands (Hovin et al. 1973). Hovin and his coworkers reported that the nodes of reed canarygrass culms become meristematically active once the panicles are removed, and stage of development of the panicle affected the percent survival of the new plants. Pre-anthesis culms rooted poorly while culms from post-anthesis plants rooted better. Bank erosion and transport of culms allows for yet another means of establishing plants along a watercourse.

Management

Seeds require several days at cool temperatures for a high percentage of the seeds to germinate. The rate and amount of germination is typical for most cool season pasture grasses, but pales in comparison to many annual weeds. For comparison, yellow starthistle and cheatgrass can achieve 75% germination within 2 days. Seedling development of reed canarygrass is similar to other cool season pasture grasses. The seedlings lack vigor and are very sensitive to competition. Morrison and Molofsky (1998, 1999) reported that reed canarygrass seedlings were more sensitive to interspecific competition then they were to decreased water availability.

Pests and Potential Problems

Reed canarygrass is a classic weed in many environments but in environments subject to frequent & severe disturbances it has some value. It persists very well in spite of grazing. The grazing period lasts nine months west of the Cascades (Wheeler

http:plants.usda.gov 1950). Few if any grasses can tolerate grazing pressure this long. It also withstands grazing periods as frequent as 2 weeks between rests with little detrimental effects. It withstands annual burning and spring flooding very well. It also tolerates heavy applications of wastes. It is ecologically “stable state.” The up-side -- it is not very prone to give way to noxious weeds. The down-side -- natural transition to a higher seral “more native” state is unlikely.

Seeds and Plant Production

Plant Production

Plant Production

Reed canarygrass seed is quite small, very dense, and resembles timothy seed because both are small, heavy, and naked, Fully sodded stands produce only 30-50 pounds seed/acre (Schoth 1938), Old stands tend to have a higher proportion of vegetative culms than reproductive culms, Seed heads are borne on long culms and seeds mature from the top of the head down, Fully ripe seeds are highly viable and shatter readily, Indeterminate maturation allows for a prolonged period of seed dispersal, which reduces seed predation, It also increases the chances of some seed being dispersed by an episodic event such as an animal brushing against a plant and some seed catching in its coat, Rhizomes account for much of the localized spread of reed canarygrass, Rhizomes grow outwardly from a mother plant until the terminal bud develops a shoot (Evans and Ely 1941), This is unlike quackgrass, which develops shoots all along the rhizome axis, Use soil moisture sensors to measure the soil moisture of Phalaroides arundinacea (L.) Raeusch. var. picta (L.) Tzvelev., This allows reed canarygrass to rapidly expand its local territory and a single rhizome or stem can infest an entire drainage,

Fact Sheet

Uses

Erosion control: The extensive, rhizomatous root system and dense growth of reed canarygrass provide excellent erosion control, especially along stream banks, shorelines and waterways. Reed canarygrass invades wet areas so its use along ditches, canals and drains can create maintenance problems; it can also be troublesome in wetland habitats. Filter fields: Reed canarygrass is a heavy user of fertilizer and actively grows throughout a long season. Because of this and its excellent adaptation to wet sites, it is well suited for use in seeding filter fields which collect wastewater from food processing industries, livestock operations, and sewage treatment plants. Cutting and removal of biomass is required for good nutrient uptake performance, but a 6 to 8 inch cut height is recommended for rapid regrowth under these conditions. Any forage produced can be used for livestock feed. Forage: Reed canarygrass is primarily adapted for permanent hay or pasture on sites too wet for good performance of other forage plants. The forage should be grazed or mowed prior to heading as both quality and palatability decline rapidly after heading. A common mistake is to use reed canarygrass on wet sites where timely harvest is not possible. Wildlife: This grass provides excellent nesting and escape cover and the shattered seeds are readily eaten by many species of birds.

Description

Phalaris arundinacea L., reed canarygrass, is a vigorous, productive, long-lived, perennial, sod- forming grass. It is a widespread species native to North America, Europe, and Asia. The numerous broad, moderately harsh, erect leaves are dominantly basal. The coarse, erect stems may reach a height of 6 to 8 feet. Seed is borne in an open panicle which ripens from the top down and shatters readily as it matures. The seed has a short storage life, up to 5 years, and should be checked for germination within 6 months of its use. Reed canarygrass has excellent frost tolerance and is well suited to wet soils that are poorly drained or subject to flooding. It also has good drought tolerance. Growth begins in early spring and continues through the growing season. Regrowth following mowing or grazing is rapid on fertile sites. Forage quality is good prior to heading but then declines rapidly.

Adaptation and Distribution

Distribution

Distribution

Reed canarygrass is adapted to soils too wet for bromegrass, fescue, and orchardgrass. It is very cold tolerant and will withstand temperatures well below -30 °F. It is moderately drought tolerant but requires 18 inches annual precipitation or irrigation for good performance. It is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions but its major use is on poorly drained soils or those subject to inundation. Once established, it will withstand continuous inundation for 60 to 70 days. It does well on soils that range from moderately acidic to weakly saline-alkaline. It will tolerate saltier soils with frequent irrigation or natural flooding. Reed canarygrass is distributed throughout the west, north, and northeastern United States. For a current distribution map, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Website.

Establishment

A firm, moist, clean seedbed is needed for good emergence. Old fields or meadows should be cropped to annual crops for 1 to 2 years to eliminate perennial weeds, grasses and sedges before seeding reed canarygrass. The seed germinates readily but is somewhat slow to establish. Seed in pure stands at a rate of 5 to 7 pounds per acre. Seeding should be done in late fall or early spring. Plant shallow, no deeper than 1/2 inch. If necessary, irrigate to maintain surface moisture until plants are well established.

Management

New seedings should not be grazed until fully established. It is best to harvest for hay one to two times before grazing. To maintain plant vigor and promote rapid regrowth, leave a stubble of 6 inches after mowing or grazing. Start spring grazing after plants reach a height of 10 to 12 inches. Harvest hay when the first seedheads appear. Reed canarygrass will persist under close, frequent use but yield will be greatly reduced. Its persistence under heavy use does make it well suited for calving, lambing, holding areas or other special-use pastures. To maintain good yields an annual application of nitrogen will be required on most sites.

Pests and Potential Problems

The leaf disease Helminthosporium giganteum sometimes attacks reed canarygrass and work in Pennsylvania led to the discovery of the disease tawny blotch (Stagonospora foliicola) on this plant, Cultivars, Improved, and Selected Materials (and area of origin) Improved cultivars and places of development are ‘Castor’, ‘Grove’, ‘Rival’ (Canada) and ‘Ioreed’, ‘Palaton’, ‘R,P, 200’, ‘Vantage’, ‘Venture’ (Iowa), Use soil moisture sensors to measure the soil moisture of Phalaroides arundinacea (L.)
