Abstract
The present study investigates the germination requirements of the seeds of Rumex hastatus with respect to temperature, light and substrate. Both field and laboratory studies indicate that temperature 27-28°C, light and soil condition are important factors governing germination of seeds produced either in June or December. Unfavourable temperature regimes prevent winter seeds from germinating for seven months but favourable temperature enables summer seeds to germinate within a month after collection. Summer seeds are at an advantage because seed viability declines with storage time.
