Wisconsin Fast Plant® and Wheat Growth with Competition and Limited Nutrient Availability

Cameron Gilbreath, Shannon Wilson

Abstract


This experiment examined and evaluated the competition between the Wisconsin Fast plant and wheat and whether an addition of nutrients would be able to account for any decrease in growth due to competition. We found the overall growth of each species would decrease when both were present in the same restrictive environment and the average overall growth of Wisconsin Fast plants with the added nutrients of the fertilizer was significantly smaller than the trials with less fertilizer.
