Most of the species from poacea family create confusion while identifying them. Genus can be easily identified but if there is no flowering or fruiting stage available for the particular weeds during the study, then it becomes difficult to identify them. Can anyone tell me the best possible means to identify them?
Plants which are growing in your main crop field having no economic importance may be treated as weeds.
try a cross-section of leaf-blade. The distribution of sclerenchyma in particular can be a diagnostic feature. You need an herbarium with fully determined samples as a reference
Dear Pradip
One can identify the species through certain plant anatomical characters. May be by taking cross section of the leaf blade as rightly mentioned by the Marc Philippe
If you can identify up to genus level, pl make a herbarium and match it with the specimens deposited in a reputed Herbarium where plants of your area are deposited.
You can also seek confirmation from grass experts.
