Abstract
Desmanthus seed has a high degree of dormancy related to its hard seat coat. Some seeds germinate readily with adequate soil moisture while others may remain dormant for years. Fire has been observed to promote germination of these dormant seeds. The effect of heat on a range of accessions was studied. The results may assist in the management of Desmanthus recruitment in savanna landscapes particularly where fire can be used.
