Abstract/Contents:"Alkaligrass (Puccinellia spp.) is a nuisance weed within Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) grass seed fields through out the Grande Ronde Valley of Eastern Oregon. However, to plan effective weed management strategies we must first understand basic characteristics of weed seed biology. Basic characteristics of seed dormancy in two alkaligrass grass species (Puccinellia distans and Puccinellia nuttalliana) were analyzed to determine if afterripening (10, 30, 90, 180, and 365 days), stratification (5 days at 5C), potassium nitrate solution, or germination temperature (20C or 30C) had an affect [effect] on germination rates. Results indicated that an afterripening period of at least 365 days was required for both species before any treatment effect was significant. After such time, stratification combined with a germination temperature of 20C yielded the greatest germination results in both species. As well, to understand seasonal germination requirements, day and night temperature combinations were studied using a two-way thermogradient plate. Day and night temperatures on the plate ranged from approximately 5C to 40C at roughly 10C increments. Germination was calculated at 3 day intervals up to a total germination value at day 18. Both species prefered alternating day and nighttime germination temperatures of 10/30C."
