Abstract :
Maize resilience when competing with different weed species is decisive when intervening with different control methods. Amaranthus
retroflexus is of particular interest because of its occurence time (at the same time with maize, after its emergence, following the 7-leafs stage),
height, biomass, growth rate, breeding capacity, dissemination and damage. Given the damage caused by A. retroflexus, the aim of this research
was to determine the circumstances of weed-maize crop competition so as to identify the threshold for this species.
