Once Foxtail barley is established, it becomes extremely difficult to eradicate.

Foxtail barley is also adapted to a wide range of moisture regimes from dry to wet.

The seedling of Foxtail barley first appears as thin, vertical leaves covered in short, dense hairs.

Foxtail barley is a shallow-rooted plant with germination occurring at soil depths not greater than three inches.

In the waste clearings, beside the more vertical species, grew foxtail barley - supple, iridescent.

Barley was developed from the wild foxtail barley, or squirrel-tail grass, found all over the temperate zones of the world.

Plant species such as foxtail barley, saltgrass, rabbitbrush, cattails and other reeds are still found in small pockets along the river.

Hordeum jubatum (Foxtail barley) is a perennial plant species in the grass family Poaceae.

Foxtail barley is a pioneer species or invader in disturbed areas and in areas with high salinity.

Foxtail barley is a prolific seed producer, with each plant capable of producing upwards of 200 seeds.

Foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum) propagates by seed.

Seed germinating in the fall can overwinter and resume growth in early spring, giving Foxtail barley a competitive advantage over many crops.

While Foxtail barley may be palatable for animals in early spring before it flowers, its seed heads, when dry, are very harmful to grazing animals.

Since Foxtail barley accumulates high amounts of salt in its leaves and roots, it has the potential of reducing soil salinity.

These fire-adapted species included goatgrass, rattlesnake fern, ebony spleenwort, lady's tresses and foxtail barley.

Hordeum (barleys - common barley, foxtail barley, etc.)

Hordeum jubatum (foxtail barley)

Hordeum jubatum (Foxtail Barley)

Given Foxtail barley's ability to withstand saline soils, it has been identified as having potential for the revegetation of saline mine spoils to reduce erosion.

Foxtail barley is a fibrous-rooted, densely tufted grass that grows from 30 cm to 100 cm tall and is erect or reclining at the base.

Foxtail barley is also host to a number of viruses, and because it harbours wheat rust and blackstem rust, can indirectly affect the development of field crops.

Foxtail barley is distinguished from cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and Meadow barley (Hordeum brachyantherum) by lemma awn length.

Those meadows of moderate moisture could be colorful, too, with many flowering plants intermixed with the grassy ground cover of wild oats, foxtail barley, and, particularly on slopes and uplands, little bluestems.

Its closest relatives are therefore not the other North American taxa like Meadow Barley or Foxtail Barley but the annual H. euclaston occurring in Central and western Argentina and Uruguay.

Its closest relatives are therefore not the other North American taxa like meadow barley (H. brachyantherum) or foxtail barley (squirreltail grass, H. jubatum), but rather Hordeum species of the pampas of central Argentina and Uruguay.

Hordeum intercedens is an diploid, annual species of wild barley known by the common names bobtail barley and vernal barley.

Hordeum jubatum (Foxtail barley) is a perennial plant species in the grass family Poaceae.

Foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum) propagates by seed.
