Abstract

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of water depth, fall flooding, and burial depth on the development of common waterplantain (Alisma triviale Pursh. # ALSPA) in wild rice (Zizania palustris L.). The optimum water depths for common waterplantain from corms were 20 cm when grown outside in submerged pots at St. Paul and 2 and 15 cm when grown in a sloping field at Grand Rapids. Growth of common waterplantain from seeds was maximum at the lowest water depths (2 to 7 cm) at both locations. Wild rice dry weight and seed yield in the same experiments were maximum at the 20- and 30-cm water depths at St. Paul and the 15- and 28-cm depths at Grand Rapids. The increased wild rice seed yield and dry weight at these depths was related to increased tiller production. Wild rice yield was similar at all water depths at Grand Rapids when grown with common waterplantain from corms at a density of 11 plants/m2. Water depths that decreased the effect of common waterplantain interference with wild rice, reduced wild rice yield. Establishment of common waterplantain from corms was maximum at the 5- and 15-cm depths and was severely reduced at the 0- and 30-cm soil depths in soils not flooded in the fall but flooded in the spring. Fall flooding killed all corms regardless of burial depth. Corm mortality under fall-flooded conditions may be due to the effects of ice-encasement.
