- Intervention effect Redroot pigweed reduced maize root density by 41 to 87% relative to maize alone.
- Intervention effect Common lambsquarters reduced maize root density by 27 to 73% relative to maize alone.
- Intervention effect Redroot pigweed restricted maize root growth more than shoot growth.
- Intervention effect Common lambsquarters restricted maize root growth more than shoot growth.
- Intervention effect Maize presence changed common lambsquarters root density from a 25% reduction to a 23% increase.
