It is an important weed in cotton production, which is among the foremost crops of Turkey. It is estimated that 61% of cotton production areas are infested with johnsongrass. The crop loss at average infestation levels varies from 13% to 54% depending on the region. If johnsongrass was not controlled, 38% of current cotton production would be lost.
