When rough pigweed is killed by fire, the population must establish from
seed.  If a fire in the spring kills rough pigweed plants but
conditions continue to be favorable, seeds from the seedbank will
germinate [44].  Late in the growing season, a fire will prepare the
seedbed for establishment of rough pigweed from seed the next spring.
