N2  - Seeds of Avena ludoviciana after-ripened more rapidly with increasing temperatures up to 30&#176;C and with increasing relative humidities between 16 and 100&#37;. In continuous light, these seeds after-ripened more rapidly than in the dark. Seeds of different species and strains of wild oats after-ripened at different rates; primary seeds after-ripened more rapidly than secondary. One week after anthesis 60&#37; of the viable primary seeds of A. ludoviciana were dormant, compared with 100&#37; at maturity. The importance of these findings to studies on the physiology of dormancy and to the control of wild oats in the field is discussed.
