- Title
Studies on competition between wheat and Chenopodium album L.

- Abstract
Interspecific competition between wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Chenopodium album 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 C. album, 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.
