Statement

Illustration for a book about natural methods of weed control, showing various ways one plant can compete against another.  These include:

1. Competion for light, water and nutrients

2.  Direct overgrowth causing physical damage

3.  Mechanisms to avoid predation

4.  High reproduction rates

5.  Allelopathy (production of chemicals that harm other plants)

6.  Ability to flourish in a wide range of environments (the small leaves on the dominant plant may help it conserve water and tolerate drought)
