Summary

The analysis of plant competition experiments in which all possible pairs of p genotypes are grown in replacement series is discussed. Two methods of analyses, using models of de Wit (1960) and Gleeson & McGilchrist (1980), are compared. The two approaches, which are shown to be linked algebraically, complement each other in terms of agronomic interpretation.
