Basic Information

Nassella trichotoma

Serrated Tussock Grass, serrated tussock grass

Nassella trichotoma, commonly known as the serrated tussock, is a type of bunchgrass plant, native in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru. It is on the list of Weeds of National Significance in Australia, reducing the productivity of pasture and creating a fire hazard. In many states, landowners are required by law to keep their land free of this plant. Herbicides that control the plant are generally expensive monetarily, contributing to its growth in countries such as Australia. In New Zealand is classed as an unwanted organism by Biosecurity New Zealand and is under strict control regimes by some of the regional councils.
