Abstract

Whenever moisture and temperature were favorable for germination, new seedlings of field dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.) emerged each week for two years after seeding in the field or greenhouse. Many viable seeds probably remained in the soil, because 10% or less of the seeds produced seedlings.
