Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Grain yields formed four distinct spatial clusters.
- Association In dry 1998, yield clusters were strongly influenced by elevation and soil texture.
- Association Common smut reduced grain yield at low elevations.
- Observation Common smut preferred dry conditions.
- Observation Wet 1999 yield clusters combined differing elevations and soil textures.
- Method / resource Measured parameters forecast grain yield better in 1998 than 1999.
- Observation Net assimilation rate differed before the 12-leaf stage.
- Recommendation Net assimilation rate may support early in-season management decisions.
- Observation Biomass differences appeared after the 12-leaf stage.
- Recommendation Biomass measurements may guide decisions during this season and the next.
