Control programs work best when all plants are killed shortly after having emergence, and should continue for several years. When plants are seeding then they should be destroyed by burning. Small infestations and isolated plants of Rumex hypogaeus can be dug out. Weed Ĭommon names in Australia, where it is a weed, include: bindies, spiny emex, doublegee, double gee, double-gee, three corner jack, three-cornered jack, goat's head burr, goathead, jackie, prickly jack, cape spinach, devil's face, devil's thorn, bullhead, bull head, and cat's head. It is native to South Africa and has become naturalised in California, Trinidad, Europe, India, Pakistan, Taiwan, Hawaii, and Australia. It favours disturbed sites, on sandy soils. The achenes (dry 1-seeded fruits not opening at maturity) are 4-6 by 2-3 mm, and shiny. The female flowers occur as groups of 1 to 4 per sheathed bundle, and the outer tepals are ovate to oblong and 4-6 mm in fruit, while the inner tepals are broadly triangular and, 5-6 mm in fruit. Optimization of Application Efficacy for POST Herbicides with Adjuvants on Three-Cornered Jack (Emex australis Steinheil) in Wheat - Volume 27 Issue 3. There are 1 to 8 flowers with stamens per sheathed bundle and these flowers have narrow oblong tepals which are 1.5-2 mm. The leaves are stalked and without any surface covering, with the leaf blade being 1-10 by 0.5-6 cm. Even when the influx of new seed was stopped for 4 consecutive years, it was still not possible to achieve complete reduction in numbers of doublegee seeds.It grows to heights of from 10 to 60 cm and its stems may be prostrate, decumbent, or ascending. The viable seeds exhumed after 4 years of burial were in different states of dormancy but induced or innately dormant seeds predominated at the cooler higher rainfall site.

At the coolest site with higher rainfall the retention of viable seeds increased with increasing depth in the soil, whereas at warmer sites with lower rainfall there was an inverse relationship between viability and burial depth. There was no direct relationship between emergence and loss of seed viability. The waves of emergence reflected the seasonal rainfall pattern, although emergence did not occur after every rainfall. Already has released 3 EPs on Modular Expansion Records. Over the following 3 years, emergence declined progressively. EMEX signature sound is an eminent mix of hard techno beats, minimal acid synth-lines and dub chords. Emergence occurred mainly during the first autumn from seed less than 1 year old. At 3 climatically contrasting sites in Western Australia, seeds placed at 1 cm gave maximum emergence but no seedling emerged from seeds placed at 15 cm or deeper.
