少花蒺藜草是我国重要外来入侵植物之一。研究了环境因子对少花蒺藜草种子萌发和出苗的影响。研究结果表明,光照会促进少花蒺藜草种子休眠,少花蒺藜草种子萌发温度范围为15~40℃,最适萌发温度为25℃,萌发的临界温度在10~15℃;临界水势在-12~-10 MPa,水势在-8~-4 MPa的环境适宜少花蒺藜草生长。少花蒺藜草出苗临界土壤含水量在1.0%~2.5%,生长临界含水量在2.5%~5.0%;少花蒺藜草在pH值为2~12的条件下均可萌发生长,但pH值为12的条件更适合生长;少花蒺藜草种子在沙土中0~15 cm深度均可出苗,1~9 cm深度出苗率最高,在壤土中1~7 cm深度出苗率最高,超过11 cm不能出苗。
Seed germination and emergence of Cenchrus pauciflorus Benth, an important invasive plant in China, was studied.Light promoted seed dormancy of C.pauciflorus,whose seed germination most favorable and critical germination temperatures were 15~40,25,10~15 ℃,respectively.The most situable water potential to grow for C.pauciflorus was-12~-10 MPa,it also grew well at-8~-4 MPa.Correspondingly,the critical soil moisture for emergence and growth were 1.0%~2.5%and 2.5%~5.0%, respectively.C.pauciflorus could germinate and grow at pH values ranging from 2 to 12,but performed better at pH 12.The seed of C.pauciflorus could emergence at a depth of 0~15 cm in sandy soil, with highest emergence rate at depth of 1~9 cm.However,C.pauciflorus seed emerged best at a depth of 1~7 cm in loamy soil,but could not emergence if buried deeper than 11 cm.
