Grain yield and competitive ability against weeds in modern and heritage common wheat cultivars are differently influenced by sowing density

Sowing density can have a strong impact on crop stand development during wheat growing cycle. In organic and low-input agriculture, and therefore with minimum or nil use of chemical herbicides, increased sowing density is expected to affect not only grain yield but also weed suppression. In this stu...
