What is another word for Downy Bromegrass?
Pronunciation: [dˈa͡ʊni bɹˈə͡ʊmɡɹas] (IPA) 
Downy bromegrass is a species of grass that is commonly used in range and wildlife management. This grass is also known as cheatgrass, pigeon grass, and foxtail grass. Cheatgrass got its name from its tendency to mature and seed earlier than other native grasses, outcompeting them for resources. Pigeon grass, on the other hand, refers to its use as a food source for pigeons. Foxtail grass gets its name from its bushy, fox-like tail-like seedheads. Despite these names, downy bromegrass is a beneficial grass that can provide good forage for livestock and wildlife while also preventing erosion and soil degradation.
