Extract

The need for information concerning effects of quality and quantity of light on submerged aquatic plants has been emphasized by the Committee on Aquatic Weed Control at the Southern Weed Conference and by Westman. Factors such as light intensity, water temperature, and depth of water interact with soil fertility to govern the establishment of rooted aquatic vegetation and determine the rate at which it grows.
