      abstract = {Container experiments were conducted in the Dominican  Republic to determine the influence of gibberellic acid  treatment on the competitive ability of tomato, eggplant  and bell pepper against the weed Parthenium spp. until crop  flowering. The effect of gibberellic acid rates on  competitiveness was determined by the changes in relative  crowding coefficient values (RCC) in a replacement series  of each crop and the weed. Results indicate that  gibberellic acid increased crop biomass and thus RCC as  rates increased. Bell pepper was the most responsive crop.  Since the critical interference period usually occurs  before flowering, gibberellic acid treatment at the time of  transplanting might prove to be an effective means to  improve the competitive ability of this crop against  Parthenium spp.},
