Abstract
Silverleaf nightshade is a serious weed in Australian crop and pasture systems. Improved understanding of its lifecycle will be useful for silverleaf nightshade management. This research showed that the growth and development of silverleaf nightshade plants is significantly affected by time of emergence. Plants (both root- and seed-generated) that emerged early in the season, such as in September and November, were significantly taller and produced more dry weight and fruits than plants that emerged in January and March. This study also suggests effective management of silverleaf nightshade should be carried out before January to reduce seed production.
