The growth ra.te of Horse nettle plants was most rapid when they were<br />

maintained in a vegetative state by clipp1ng.<br />

The ra.te of top growth of Horse nettle plants grown from seed was slow<br />

when compared with ,the rate of root growth. This relationship insures firm<br />

establishment of the plant rather early in vegetative development. Therefore,<br />

chemical and cultural control programs may be more effective when directed at<br />

seedlings than a.t established plants.<br />
