In order to investigation <strong>of</strong> canola competitive ability in competition with Sinapis arvensis, an<br />
experiment in the form <strong>of</strong> r<strong>and</strong>omized complete block design with three replications was conducted<br />
at the research field <strong>of</strong> gorgan university <strong>of</strong> agricultural sciences <strong>and</strong> natural resources in 2009-<br />
2010.Treatments were components <strong>of</strong> 3 row spacings <strong>of</strong> canola (12،24 <strong>and</strong> 36 cm) <strong>and</strong> weed density<br />
(0 <strong>and</strong> 8 plant in m 2) . The results showed that Sinapis arvensis decrease leaf area index, crop growth<br />
rate, relative growth rate, dry matter <strong>and</strong> canola yield in all <strong>of</strong> row spacings. The most <strong>of</strong> leaf area<br />
index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate was observed in row spacings <strong>of</strong> 36، 24 <strong>and</strong> 12 cm <strong>and</strong><br />
the most <strong>of</strong> dry matter <strong>and</strong> yield <strong>of</strong> canola was observed in row spacings <strong>of</strong> 12، 24 <strong>and</strong> 36 cm<br />
respectively.The results <strong>of</strong> this research indicated that increase <strong>of</strong> crop density via decrease <strong>of</strong> row<br />
spacing, is an effective practice in decrease <strong>of</strong> Sinapis arvensis density.<br />
