The room temperature between 17.2° to 28.0° C was favourable for germination of wild oats (Avena ludoviciana Dur.). Sowing time of pure stand of wild oats and wheat crop during November and December did not influence the emergence and population of wild oats plants. Wild oats did not germinate in October. Sowing of wild oats in December caused, reduction in plant height, length of panicle and number of spikelets per panicle of wild oats, compared to that sownduring early November.
