Wheat Biomass Production and Plant Competition

Kory Kemp, Jake Hammons, Davis Goerig

Abstract


We hypothesised that a single plant facing no competition will yield more biomass than plants facing intraspecific competition. Half the wheat plants received fertiliser, while the other half did not. The addition of fertilizer did not have a statistically significant difference between the two treatments.EndFragmentEndFragment
