Fig. 1. Interaction between competition from oat and crop cultivar on (A) grain yield and (B) kernels per spike of wheat and barley cultivars grown at four locations in 2003 and 2004 at Edmonton, AB, and New Norway, AB. Peregrine and Seebe are barley cultivars, others are wheat. Within each cultivar and trait, bars with * differ significantly at P < 0.05 according to the LSD.

Fig. 2. Relationship between grain yield and total weed biomass without additional competition from (A) tame oat and (B) total weed biomass with tame oat competition of wheat and barley cultivars grown at four locations in 2003 and 2004 at Edmonton, AB, and New Norway, AB. Peregrine and Seebe are barley cultivars, others are wheat. Solid lines represent means and dotted lines represent upper and lower 95% confidence limits.
