' A recent research paper in
Ecological Monographs has been
published by Dr. Fernando De
Peralta, now plant ecologist in the
University of the Philippines, as
scrlbine his experiment with grow.
ing sudan grass on a large plot
near Lincoln. Peralta, who received
his doctor's degree in botany at
the university, did the field work
under the supervision of Dr. J. E.
Weaver, professor of plant ecology,
Dr. Peralta says this grass is
adapted to drouth by its prompt
germination when waier is avail
able, bv its rapid root penetration
into the deener sol ana oy us
ability to become dormant during
drouth and recover unharmed
thereafter.
'Planted on May 22 at the rate
of twenty-two pounds per acre,
develoument was so rapid 4.hat
during the twenty days of the
seedling stage, the roots grew at
an average rate of seventy-uve
hundreths of an inch a day and the
tops developed seven leaves and
reached a height of thirteen
inches," ho. reports.
"During the following twenty
days of tillering, the roots grew
an Jnch per day and reached a
dcpWi of 4.1 feet. In extent, they
still exceeded the tops, which were
only 3.8 feet tall, while a height
of 7.5 feet and root depth of 6.8
feet were attained during the fol
lowing forty-seven days of flower
ing and maturing.
Cutting Retards Growth,
"The less crowded the plants
the more able were they to manu
facture materials for growth of
stems, hence they became in
creasingly taller." The experiment
also revealed that sudan grass )s
one of the strongest competitors
of weeds, because of its rapid
growth and great height. Its re
peated cutting, however, retards
this natural development.
After the plants had been
clipped or pastured once, the new
growth yielded more where they
had been clipped high than
where they had been clipped
closely. Repeated cutting back of
the shoot proved to the experi-
mentor that the tillers were stimu
lated, and once formed, they were
least injured by successive cut
tings and developed bushy plants.
