Extract

The magnitude of the problem created by wild oats (Avena fatua L.) is one that warrants intensive study not only from the practical but also from the biological standpoint. A knowledge of the entities or taxa present in the wild oats population is a logical beginning to more extensive phases of investigation. The purpose of this paper is to report taxonomic and genetics studies carried out on the wild oats population of the Prairie Provinces. It is hoped that the information obtained may be of use to other investigators interested in the biology of wild oats.
