Abstract

There is no more troublesome weed in Western Australia than doublegee. Besides its competitive and smothering: effect on crop and pasture, the spiny fruits penetrate the hoofs of stock causing: lameness. It is a quick-growing- annual which forms seeds at an early stage of growth and rapidly develops a strong tap-root. Dormant seeds will continue to germinate for a number of years and a succession of germinations often occur in the one season. The seedlings are capable of surviving adverse conditions and making rapid recovery.
