e0“Lower ear numbers observed in the traffic lanes led to heavier grains, but increased grain weight was insufficient to avoid a yield loss, which on average was around 17% compared with the non-trafficked beds”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Remedial work on traffic lanes (loosening in the center or on the shoulders) gave little advantage in yields and ear numbers.
- Intervention effect Grains from traffic lanes were heavier than those from non-trafficked beds, but the increased grain weight did not avoid a yield loss.
- Intervention effect Yield in traffic lanes was on average around 17% lower than in non-trafficked beds.
- Intervention effect At one site where the combine harvester effect could be isolated, the combine harvester more than doubled yield losses.
- Intervention effect Length of time as a traffic lane had no measurable impact on the extent of yield reduction.
