Abstract
Seeds of green foxtail, Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv., were placed on the surface or buried at four depths from 1.0 to 15.0 cm in a fine sandy loam soil in 1966 and 1967. At regular intervals, packets of seed were exhumed and the viability of the seeds was tested. After 6 yr, less than 1% of the seed placed on the surface remained viable and none of the buried seeds survived longer than 17 yr.Key words: Green foxtail, Setaria viridis, seeds, longevityThis publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
