摘要
Two cultivars of each of three spring cereals (wheat, barley and oats) were grown with Avena fatua in a box experiment, where the effects of root and shoot competition were separated using soil and aerial partitions. Measures of resource complementarity (RYT) and of the relative severity of competition indicated that competition for soil resources, particularly nitrogen, was more severe than competition for aerial resources, i.e. light. When both root and shoot competition occurred, oats and barley were generally more competitive than wheat, but there were significant differences in competitive ability between cultivars of all three cereals. Although competition between cereals and A. fatua occurred predominantly below-ground, the various cultivars only differed slightly in root competitive ability against weeds. Nitrogen fertilizer did not significantly change the ranking of competitive abilities of the cultivars. Although shoot competition had less effect than root competition, the various cereals differed markedly in shoot competitive ability. The two oat cultivars, and the barley cultivar Egmont, had higher shoot competitive abilities than the two wheat cultivars or the barley cultivar Goldmarker. There was little evidence that differences in shoot competitive ability were due to differences in plant height.
