Fig. 1. Ordination diagram of second and third canonical axes of corn and soybean fields sampled in the Argentine Rolling Pampas represented by their weed communities. Eigenvalue given for each axis represented the variance in the data matrix attributed to that axis. Management variables are represented by lines
