Factors influencing the sprouting ability of rhizome pieces of Calystegia sepium and root pieces of Convolvulus arvensis were analyzed in four experiments. In the first experiment, sprouting was investigated as a function of bud number. About half of the rhizome and root pieces with one bud could sprout. Almost all pieces with 6 or more buds sprout...

... Both of these bindweed species can spread by means of vegetative (i.e., shoots, buds, rhizomes) or generative (i.e., seeds) reproduction [1]. Their rapid regenerative capacities derive from their extensive rhizome and root systems that can store large amounts of carbohydrates, which makes their long-term control particularly difficult [9,10]. Field and hedge bindweed are closely related species [11,12]. ...
... Another trend is to focus more on perennial weeds' vegetative reproduction regard ing dormancy and sprouting in weed control studies in Europe and especially in Scandinavia (Brandsaeter et al., 2010;Willeke et al., 2012;Andersson et al., 2013). ...
