Abstract
Petri dish experiments showed that germination of I. triloba L. occurred under varied light conditions as well as in different germinating media. High potassium nitrate concentrations inhibited germination while germination at the lower concentrations was promoted. Seeking seeds with 12 or 36 N sulfuric acid also promoted germination.
Growth of this weed maintained for three months in earthen pots showed that it completed its life cycle within 67 days or about 9 weeks from germination. The third to the sixth week was characterized by rapid vegetative growth. Flowers were produced at 38 days or about 3 weeks from planting and seed set occurred 67 days after the first flowers appeared. A single plant produced an average of 317 seeds.
