Summary

Internal and external factors affecting the germination of seeds of six common East African weeds were studied by sowing the seeds in each of 13 different treatments chosen to provide a wide range of different germination environments. The results indicate how germination is regulated in each of these species and provide the basic information necessary for further field studies.
