Bromus arvensis is commonly known as Field brome, and it belongs to the Poaceae family. This plant is a tall annual or winter annual weed that is found growing in grassland, meadows, and croplands. The word "arvensis" comes from the Latin language which means "of the field." Besides, field brome has several other synonyms, including cheatgrass, ripgut brome, downy brome, chess, and bronco grass. These synonyms refer to different species that share similar characteristics to the field brome. However, field brome is a problematic weed in agricultural fields as it competes with crops for space, nutrients, and water.
