but can be beaten LONDON Ont CP Re search into root regeneration in dandelions at the University of Western Ontario has confirmed that they are tough weed but they can be beaten Unfortunately your neigh bors unbeaten and unbowed dandelion crop will reseed your lawn for renewal of the battle next year On the other hand says re searcher Henrietta Mann you might learn to appreciate that brilliant yellow blanket For two years Miss Mann graduate student in the plant sciences department at the uni versity has cultivated three qrarteracre crop at the univer sitys field station in London The project has produced in formation never recorded be fore about dandelion roots and their survival rate knowledge which can be helpful to the frustrated farmer or gardner who refuses to submit to their blight Miss Mann said in an inter view that if you chop up the roots when the dandelions are at the peak of their blooming season only 26 per cent of the plants will survive CHEMICAL MAKES SURE If you add 24 chemical ale said you get 100 per cent That amounts to control but not permanent destruction be cause of blowing seed There are 50 to 70 blooms per plant she said though not all at once and when they are in full spring flower the plant it self is weakened and most vul nerable because all its energy is devoted zo producing seed with little reserve left for resistance to attack Miss Manns mentor Dr Cavers said the problem she set out to solve was what hap pens after the root system has been damaged does the dan delion survive because of rege neration or from reseeding There was until now no in formation in scientific literature about regrowth from damaged roots in the field un der natural conditions said Dr Cavers The only experiments until now had been conducted under controlled laboratory conditions where regeneratuon was nearly 100 per cent ROOTS FIGHT BACK Miss Mann found the situation quite different in the field While there was better survival in certain seasons the average recovery in 1974 from mot mutilation was 40 per cent and in 1975 when the plants were more mature it was 53 per cent She started with seedlings two years ago this spring transplanting them from greenhouse Each month through the growing season she cut up the roots and replanted the pieces at differenz depths and in different positions OPEN SUNDAY FREDS FLOWERS Highway IT at Stroud 900 am to 900 pm FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS Miss Mann found that the root sections planted close to the surface and those planted more than four inches deep had the poorest rate of regrowth To this student
