1. Downy Brome (Bromus tectorum)
2. Drooping brome or cheat grass
3. Native: Europe, Southwestern Asia and Northen Africa (if you want countries just pick from those geographic locations [ Turkey, Iran, Egypt] (I hope that is right?)
    Introduced: US, Iceland, New Zeland
4.  Herbicides - Amber®, Beyond™, Far-Go®. Or fire burning, however there is a risk of soil erosion.
5. Uses seeds which can spread in hay, combines and grain trucks.
