Oh no! Superior grass escapes! The Law of Unintended Consequences isn't really something to laugh at, though ... and that's the real danger posed by GM "escapes."
Perhaps this one won't matter much ... though of course even this grass could cause problems down the road. But if nothing else, it shows how easy it would be for things actually to get out in the wild.

There are other herbicides which would probably control it (IIRC Atrazine, Princep). It could still be a pain.
