Effect of Low Temperature on Purple Nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) Reproductive Biology

Abstract: Purple nutsedge is considered to be the worst weed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Although the plant is a low grower it has very strong competitive abilities. The influence of initial tuber size and cold treatment on tuber sprouting, accumulation of plant biomass and new tubers formation was studied. Tubers sprouted continuously over 30 to 50 d with significantly lower sprouting ability of small tubers (0.1 to 0.2 g). Short cold treatment (4 C for 4 d) significantly stimulated sprouting … Show more

“…Thereafter, any soil was washed off the tubers were stored in paper bags in a refrigerator at 4°C for 2 weeks before the start of the experiment. By keeping tubers at 3-4°C for a short time (4 days to 2 weeks), it was aimed to trigger a dormancybreaking (Dor and Hershenhorn, 2013;Tumbleson and Kommedahl, 1962). The tubers were dark brown in colour, and their mean weight was estimated at 0.83 ± 0.17 g.…”

“…Mundialmente conhecida pelo nome de "purple nutsedge" e no Brasil por "tiririca", C. rotundus é considerada a planta daninha mais nociva nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais do planeta, infestando quase todas as principais culturas (Dor & Hershenhorn 2013, FAO 2013. De acordo com Bendixen & Nandihalli (1987) sua relevância como planta daninha já foi citada em pelo menos 52 culturas e mais de 90 países.…”

“…This organ can germinate even in total darkness within four to six weeks (Betria and Montaldi, 1975). Although it can regrow at temperatures from 4 to 45 °C, it has better germinations within 20 to 40 °C by way of daily alternating and high-temperature pulses (Dor and Hershenhorn, 2013;Wallace et al, 2013). From a single fragment, the tuber could multiply into more than a thousand pieces per square meter in just three months (Islam et al, 2009).…”
