Abstract

Three selections of johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.) were collected from three locations and designated as the N, NS, and S selections, respectively. The selections were studied for growth differences and for a differential response to dalapon (2,2-dichloropropionic acid). The N selection control plants flowered 2 weeks earlier than the other selections. The S selection yielded significantly greater root, rhizome, and total fresh weight than the NS and N selections. The N selection exhibited the most susceptibility to dalapon by producing the shortest plants, the least stem and leaf numbers, and the lowest shoot, root, rhizome, and total fresh weight of the three selections.
