Abstract

Three-quarter inch seedlings of northern nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) were transplanted into the field where numbers of plants, inflorescences and the rate of spread were recorded. Seed was collected from each plot and germination tests conducted. During one growing season, a single seedling developed into a stand of plants that produced a yield of 90,000 seeds with a germination of 51%.
