Extract

Previous studies by Bruns and Rasmussen (1, 2) showed that the longevity of the seeds of certain noxious weeds may range from several months to 5 years or more when stored in fresh running water. In order to gain information of this nature on additional weed species, a third test was initiated on April 4, 1952. The results of this study are reported herein.
