Abstract
Seedling emergence and seed bank longevity were followed in field experiments with natural populations of common crupina for 4 yr. Emergence the first fall after dissemination was 90 to 98% of all seedlings eventually to emerge from the seedbank. Seedling emergence over time did not differ between plots which either were treated with the potassium salt of picloram or were hand weeded. No viable seed remained in the soil 25 to 26 months after seed production stopped. Five locations in a common crupina infestation undergoing eradication were sampled for seed in the soil. No viable seeds were found during the first year of the eradication, and no intact seeds were found after 4 yr.
