Flowering time: July - September.
Distribution: Widely distributed throughout Mongolia with occasionally high populations in frequently cultivated cereals and vegetables.
Closely related weeds: C. foliosum L., C. acuminatum Willd., C. proctratum L.
Control measures: Susceptible to shading. Vigrous crop growth with more tillers and height can be integrated with lower doses of post-emergence herbicides. Varietal selectivity of phenoxy herbicides should be evaluated before recommending for commercial use.
