THE EFFECTS OF INTRASPECIFIC AND INTERSPECIFIC

The experiment was still helpful in portraying the differences between intra and
interspecific competition and portraying a practical application of descriptive statistics in
the real world. It was also interesting to develop an original experimental design to
figure out a real situation. Wheat and peas can be grown together just in low densities (2
seeds per starting pot).
