Abstract

Differences in the competitive effects of three major species of foxtail on soybeans were due primarily to differences in the mature plant yields of the species. Giant foxtail (Setaria Faberi) grew more vigorously and caused greater soybean yield reductions than did either yellow foxtail (Setaria lutescens) or green foxtail (Setaria viridis). The competitive effects of velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) per cwt. of mature weeds were approximately double those of yellow and green foxtail, but produced about the same yield reduction.
