Abstract | The objectives of these studies were to determine factors and treatments affecting fruit fill, fruit and seed germination and seedling emergence of fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt.). These studies indicate that fourwing saltbush exhibits wide variation in fruit fill, seed and fruit germination from plant to plant and from site to site. Total annual rainfall or combinations of rainfall by months did not serve to predict either fruit fill or germinations of fruit fill or germination of fruit or seed. Abidance of fruit produced per plant is also of no value in predicting these characteristics. |
