S. humilis H.B.K., S. guyanensis (Aubl.) Sw. subsp, guyanensis, S. mucronata Willd., and S. montevidensis Vog. were subjected to photoperiods of 8,10,12, and 14 hr in the CSIRO Phytotron in Canberra. S. guyanensis and S. humilis appeared to be short-day plants and S,.montevidensis a long-day plant for flowering. S. mucronata showed a rather indefinite response, but appeared to flower more rapidly under short days than under long days. Under photoperiods of 8 and 10 hr, S. humilis had a prostrate habit and S. montevidensis plants were stunted, while under photoperiods of 12 and 14 hr both species grew erect. S. guyanensis and S. mucronata showed no differences in growth habit with photoperiod. Dry matter yields for the 12 and 14 hr photoperiods were significantly larger than those for the 8 and 10 hr photoperiods for all species except S. mucronata, which gave a significantly higher yield only under the 14 hr photoperiod.

Pitau and Huia white clovers were sown with two rates of Ruanui, Ariki and Manawa ryegrass on high fertility soil at Invermay Agricultural Research Centre and lower fertility soil at Traquair. Although clover establishment in the Pitau white clover treatments was comparable with, or superior to that in the Huia treatments, the latter tended to have a denser growth habit, particularly during spring. Overall, there was little difference in total annual dry matter production between treatments but clover yields varied considerably in all trials. Huia clover dry matter production was superior to Pitau in the first two years but in later years the position was reversed.

Weed competition is a serious limitation to field pea (Pisum sativum L.) production. Trials were conducted in northeastern Saskatchewan to determine the effects of field pea growth habit, stand density and herbicide treatments on weed growth and on field pea stand and yield. Century, a long-stem leafy type, Tipu, a long-stem semi-leafless type, and Express, a short-stem leafy type, were seeded at 6, 12, 25, 50 and 100 seeds m−2. Some of each cultivar was unsprayed sprayed with a sethoxydim-metribuzin tank-mix for control of grass and broadleaf weeds. Field pea growth habit (cultivar) did not affect number of weeds, but increasing stand density (seed rate) reduced weed numbers in all 3 yr. Express reduced above-ground dry matter production of broadleaf weeds in 1988 and 1991. Increasing seed rate reduced above-ground dry matter production of weeds in all 3 yr. Field pea yield increased with increasing seed rate to a rate between 50 and 100 seeds m−2. Herbicide application reduced weed dry matter production, with the largest effect at low field pea populations. Despite differences in growth habit, the three cultivars competed similarly with weeds. High populations of field peas competed well with weeds and may not require herbicide application, but if producers retain thin stands, good weed control will be critical to attaining high crop yield. Key words: Field pea, Pisum sativum L., seed rate, weed competition, growth habit
