Potential Distribution of Brown-top bent

Colours indicate the possibility of Agrostis capillaris infesting these areas.
Red = Very High
Orange = High
Light Green = Medium
Dark Green = Likely
In the non-coloured areas the plant is unlikely to establish as the climate, soil or landuse is not presently suitable.
