Crop-Weed Interaction Flashcards
1
Q
CROP-WEED INTERACTION
A
- interference
- competition
2
Q
COMPETITION
A
- two or more plants demand for the same resources
- resources being shared is limited
3
Q
TYPES OF COMPETITION
A
- interspecific
- intraspecific
4
Q
INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION
A
- between plants belonging to different species
5
Q
INTRASPECIFIC COMPETITION
A
- between plants of the same species
6
Q
ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS
A
- nitrogen
- phosphorus
- potassium
7
Q
FACTORS INVOLVED IN CROP-WEED COMPETITION
A
- nutrient
- water
- sunlight
- space
8
Q
CROWDING / SHADING
A
- due to close association of crop and weeds
9
Q
INDICATOR OF COMPETITIVE ABILITY FOR LIGHT
A
- light transmission ratio (LTR)
10
Q
LEAF AREA INDEX
A
- influence the light transmission ration
- more leaves = lower LTR
11
Q
FACTORS AFFECTING ABILITY OF WEEDS TO COMPETE
A
- species
- density
- distribution
- duration of growth
12
Q
FACTORS AFFECTING DEGREE OF COMPETITION
A
- weeds species
- density
- time of competition
- duration of competition
13
Q
CRITICAL PERIOD OF COMPETITION
A
- time when crop is very sensitive to weed competition
- guide for weed management
- varies with the crop
14
Q
INDICATORS OF CPC
A
- first 25-33% of crop growth
- canopy formation
15
Q
OPEN CANOPY
A
- canopy is not yet formed
- weeds growing at this point will impact crop growth
