| Abstract: | Studies on the germination of Ischaemum afrum seeds showed that low temperature, presence of glumes and both low and excessive soil moisture contents were conducive to delayed and low germination. The inhibitory effect of the glumes was more pronounced in freshly harvested seeds. Germinability of seeds on the soil surface was poor, but shallow burial in soil increased germination. |
