Yield decreased with stand reduction in both planting patterns, however, yield reductions were more severe in gapped compared to even stands. Seed weight was not significantly affected by stands and/or weeds while averaged for two years. Seed number/plant increased with stand reduction and decreased with weed interference. Soybean lodging decreased with stand reduction and increased with weeds interference, with cocklebur causing more lodging than velvetleaf. Percent light interception and basal pod height decreased with stand reduction; the pattern of decrease was quadratic in both the planting patterns. With cocklebur and velvetleaf present, canopies intercepted about 5% and 6% more light, respectively, compared to weed-free stands. Weed dry weight increased with stand reduction, with cocklebur accumulating more dry weight compared to velvetleaf. Interference from cocklebur with soybeans appeared to be primarily for resources other than light, while velvetleaf interference was accounted for mainly by light and/or allelopathy. In reduced stands of soybean, cocklebur was more competitive than velvetleaf, while in full stands velvetleaf caused yield reductions equal to or greater than those caused by cocklebur; however, the overall yield reductions caused by both weeds were not statistically different.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-16T19:03:49Z (GMT).
