Abstract

Giant foxtail (Setaria faberii Herrm.) germinated, emerged, and produced panicles containing viable seeds when sown during the greater part of the growing season. The height of the plant, size of panicle, and number of seeds produced depended on date of planting. Cutting to 2 inches at various stages of growth did not prevent further growth and reflowering but reduced the size of the panicle and the number of seeds. Mowing in May and June allowed giant foxtail to produce two crops of viable seeds.
