- Title
Studies on competition between wheat and Chenopodium album L.
- Authors
Bhaskar, A.; Vyas, K. G.
- Abstract
Interspecific competition between wheat (<em>Triticum aestivum L.</em>) and <em>Chenopodium album</em> L.. was studied in pots using the replacement series design of de Wit. Competitive interference for phosphorus, and to some extent for nitrogen, between the two species was noted. This played a major part in limitation of growth of wheat plants by <em>C. album</em>, whereas wheat exhibited greater non-competitive interference in restricting potassium uptake by the weed. Increasing interference from the weed resulted in significant reductions in wheat grain size and yield.
