aIndicates a significant difference at within an experiment comparing low and high plant populations for Palmer amaranth control and soybean yield. Data are pooled over herbicide programs.
bThe low soybean population was approximately 178,000 plants ha−1. The high soybean plant population was approximately 483,000 plants ha−1.
