The Theory and Application of Plant Competition Models: an Agronomic Perspective

The theory and application of plant competition models: an agronomic perspective

Mathematical models are an essential and integral part of the study of plant competition. Park et al. (pp. 741-748) provide an overview of our current understanding of competition at the individual plant level and review the development of phenomenological and mechanistic mathematical models of plant competition, particularly in their application to the management of agricultural weeds.
