Meaning of "darnel" in English

"Darnel" refers to a group of ryegrass (genus Lolium) species, particularly Lolium temulentum, known as a type of weed. Often found in grain fields, darnel resembles wheat and can be quite detrimental to crops if not properly managed. Historically, it has been associated with toxicity as it can harbor a fungus that affects the central nervous system. This can cause dizziness if consumed, which made it a problematic plant in agriculture. Farmers historically have gone to great lengths to distinguish and remove darnel from their crops.
