Abstract

A year's study of the kinds of weed seeds caught in an 18-mesh copper screen intercepting half the canal width found seeds of 20 species or genera. Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) was found every month of the year; saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) only in March; others in 2 to 10 months of the year.
