Modeling the Effect of Density-Dependent Chemical Interference upon Seed Germination

A mathematical model is presented to estimate the effects of phytochemicals on seed germination. According to the model, phytochemicals tend to prevent germination at low seed densities. The model predicts that at high seed densities they may increase the probability of seed germination and the numb...
