Body
Giant Parramatta Grass (GPM) is a serious grass weed of coastal Eastern Australia. Its ability to invade pastures is due, at least in part, to its ability to produce large quantities of seed throughout summer and autumn. Most seed shed in the current year is dormant and unlikely to emerge, even under ideal conditions, but is added to a large soil seedbank. Seeds from this seedbank are much more likely to emerge in bare areas compared with vegetated areas in the following year.
