Abstract

Chenopodium humile L. did not germinate under laboratory conditions while the pericarp was intact. Scarification, leaching, ethanol, gibberellic acid, and thiourea stimulated germination. Germination was enhanced by moderate temperature (30 C), and long days. Factors which stimulated germination shortened the time between planting and maturation under short-day conditions but did not promote flowering which was absent under long-day growing conditions. Water stress did not affect germination but hastened maturation.
