Abstract
Morphological and physiological characteristics of different ontogenet ic states of pot marigold in populations of different densities are re vealed. The great intensity of intrapopulational interactions in dense plantations causes the delayed development of calendula plants, dimin ution of their size, and a decrease in their vitality level. Decreases in peroxidase and catalase activities, as compared to their activitie s in sparse calendula populations, evidence these processes.
