Abstract
Investigates the effects of soil water availability on the competitive interactions between soybean (Glycine max) and Desmodium tortuosum, a weed in agricultural fields. With adequate soil water, G. max was more competitive than D. tortuosum. However, the competitive advantage was reversed with water stress.Suggested Citation
