Competition and Growth of Corn (Zea Mays, L.) as Functions of Population Density, Row Width, and Time (Analysis, Model, Richards)
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis thesis (1) proposes a quantitative definition for the intensity of competition, and (2) presents the mathematical/statistical tools necessary to estimate intensity of competition as a function of population density, row width and time. The difference between the growth rate of a plant in a given plant arrangement and the growth rate of a plant in isolation is a measure of the intensity of competition per plant, ICPP.
