Dispersal
Establishment
It grows from late March or early April until fall from short, knotty, branching rhizomes. Foliage is a distinctive whitish green. The base of the plant is slender and wiry. It produces two and sometimes three seed crops during one growing season the first one during May or June. Bristles are left along the seed stalk after the seeds disseminate. It grows best on moist or wet sites. In Florida, it grows on wet sandy soils, sloughs, and acid flatwoods. In Texas and Louisiana, it grows well on salty prairie sites; also grows on salt marshes if water level is relatively low.

This grass is seldom abundant enough to be a key management species. For maximum production, no more than 50 percent of current year's growth by weight should be removed during growing season. Summer grazing deferments of at least 90 days every 2 to 3 years improve plant vigor. This grass can withstand controlled burning if done after September.

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Benefits
Uses
Marsh bristlegrass is grazed moderately by livestock, usually during the spring and summer. It becomes unpalatable in the fall and provides poor forage after maturity. When grazed for roughage, it should be supplemented with a mineral and protein concentrate. Birds readily eat the seeds.

Setaria parviflora
Setaria parviflora is a species of grass known by the common names marsh bristlegrass, bristly foxtail, knotroot bristlegrass, and yellow bristlegrass. It is native to North America, including Mexico and the United States from California to the East Coast, Central America and the West Indies,[1] and South America.[2]
This grass is a perennial with small, knotty rhizomes. It produces stems 30 centimeters to well over one meter tall. The leaf blades are up to 25 centimeters long and under a centimeter wide.[1] The leaves are whitish-green.[3] The inflorescence is a compact, spikelike panicle up to 8 or 10 centimeters long. Surrounding each spikelet are up to 12 yellow or purple bristles.[1] The bristles stay on the stalk after the seeds drop away.[3]
This grass grows in moist habitat.[1] It can grow in salty habitat such as salt marshes.[3]

Notes
Comments
The perennial form of Setaria parviflora has been known as S. geniculata P. Beauvois, but that name was based not on Panicum geniculatum Poiret (1798), as has been widely supposed, but on P. geniculatum Willdenow (1809), which applies to a different species.
This species is a forage grass and is used medicinally.

Names and Taxonomy
Taxonomy
Comments: Called Setaria geniculata in many older references, but treated as Setaria parviflora by Kartesz (1994 checklist). The European species Setaria gracilis has sometimes been included in S. geniculata, but is maintained as a separate species by Kartesz and by Wagner et al. (1990). Kartesz (1999) includes S. gracilis in S. parviflora.
