Abstract

Emergence of tall morningglory [Ipomoea purpurea (L.) Roth] seedlings was delayed and reduced as planting depths increased from 1.3 to 5.0 cm. Development of seedlings emerging from 3.8 cm or greater depth was delayed for up to 4 weeks as indicated by dry weight accumulation. In both greenhouse and field studies, chemical control of tall morningglory was generally greater when seedlings emerged from planting depths of 2.5 cm or greater. The competitive ability of tall morningglory, as indicated by yield reduction of cowpea [Vigna sinensis (L.) Endl], was dependent upon both planting depth and duration of infestation. Cowpea yields were reduced more by the tall morningglory plants that emerged from 1.3 cm than by those that emerged from greater planting depths for a given infestation period.
