Abstract

Black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger L.) has invaded cultivated land, pastures, and disturbed areas in east central Saskatchewan. This species flourishes during cycles of abundant moisture and disappears during dry cycles, surviving in Saskatchewan only in moist depressions or disturbed areas. Summerfallow, fall tillage, and competition from vigorous perennial grasses provide effective control of the weed. Black henbane is not likely to become a serious deterrent to crop production in Saskatchewan.
