Weed presence altered biotic stress and light signaling in maize even when weeds were removed early in the critical weed‐free period
Abstract Weed presence early in the life cycle of maize (typically, from emergence through the 8 to 12 leaf growth stage) can reduce crop growth and yield and is known as the critical weed‐free period (CWFP). Even if weeds are removed during or just after the CWFP, crop growth and yield often are no...
