conducted to address the problem of interspecific and intraspecific competition among wheat and mustard plants. It was hypothesized that increasing the plant density‚ and therefore increasing intraspecific competition‚ would negatively impact the plant biomass. It was also hypothesized that interspecific competition would have a stronger negative effect on the plant biomasses. This was tested by planting varying numbers wheat and/or mustard plants in pots‚ and measuring their biomass. The data confirmed

The second one was to observe the intraspecific competition between the wheat plant species. The third one was to observe the interspecific competition of the mustard and the wheat plant species together. It was hypothesized that the species in the interspecific competitions would have greater production than their counterparts involved in the intraspecific competitions. Furthermore
