Abstract
Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundusL.) from single tubers was grown for 3 months at 24, 32, and 40 C and 9, 13, and 19 klux illumination. Growth in number and dry weight of shoots, bulbs, and tubers were determined at monthly intervals. Maximum growth for all portions of the plant occurred after 3 months at 32 C and 19 klux illumination. Minimum growth occurred at 40 C and 9 klux illumination. Growth at 24 C was not significantly affected by increased illumination above 9 klux.Keywords
