Abstract
This experiment is about the competition among plants. Competition is the most common event that could be observed in the nature. All plants and animals are performing different kinds of competition and the results are causing the variety of some species on the some terrestrial parts of the world. Research question of the experiment is; “How does the intraspecific competition for the water between the plants from the same genus and different species; Capsicum frutescens and Capsicum annuum under the same conditions.” Plants were germinated and planted into pots for competition as experiment group and for single growth as control group. Both plants showed a growth but in different rates. Measurements were done every few days for a short period of time. Total time of the experiment was around 70 days and at the end Capsicum frutescens grew 16.9 cm and Capsicum annuum 17.9 cm for the experiment group. The difference was not as expected as when I started the experiment. The reason for that result is that both plants shared the resources present in the environment. Hypothesis was suggesting that the most common species will be the dominant one; however, there was not a dominant species on the experiment. Both plants were able to successfully grow on the experiment group. I concluded that there is not a competition among those two plants depending on the results of my experiment. If the experiment was performed in more different conditions, the results would differ and more competition could be observed but for my experiment the competition was not observable.
