A KNOWLEDGE of seed germination is essential for •**• conducting seed quality studies, for providing maximum number of progeny plants from selected material, and for providing adequate germination information for variety releases. Laboratory germination procedures for black gramagrass, Bouteloua eriopoda, seed have not been reported in the literature and were not included in the rules for testing seed (2 ) , or in the manual for testing agricultural and vegetable seed (9). However, testing procedures for laboratory germination of blue gramagrass and sideoats gramagrass have been reported (2,9). Many workers have studied the effect of various factors on germination and plant growth. Hendricks (6) reviewed
