Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation At 50 plants m-2, thermal time per new node remained constant at 36.3¦C days node-1 from sowing to flowering.
- Association Old-node leaf senescence matched production of new nodes.
- Observation At 50 plants m-2, green leaves occupied seven nodes per plant over time.
- Method / resource Empirical functions described effects of plant population on node production, senescence and maximum leaf area per node.
- Method / resource In limited testing, the functions predicted leaf area development under optimal crop conditions.
