Abstract
Dry wt of Japanese holly (Ilex crenata (Thunb.) cv. convexa Makino.) decreased significantly as the density of competing weed species increased. One redroot pigweed plant (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) reduced the dry wt of Japanese holly by 47% in 2.4 liter and 30% in 6.0 liter containers and 1 plant of large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinales (L.) Scop.) caused reductions in dry wt of Japanese holly of 60% in 2.4 liter and 35% in 6.0 liter containers.Keywords
