a S, dicamba-fluroxypyr–susceptible selected line; R, dicamba-fluroxypyr–resistant selected line.

b CR is the competitive ratio; RCC (S) and RCC (R) are the relative crowding coefficients of S and R selected lines, respectively; and AI is the aggressiveness index.

c Indices were estimated only for equal mixture proportions (50:50) of S and R K. scoparia.

d P values for one-sample t test for determining the deviation of CR from 1.0 (α = 0.05).

e P values for student’s t test for the comparison of RCC (S) and RCC (R) (α = 0.05).

f P values for one-sample t test for determining the deviation of AI from 0 (α = 0.05).
