Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Early but not late waterlogging did not affect oat yield performance as reflected by the harvest index.
- Intervention effect Early waterlogging increased Mn and Fe concentrations in all oat varieties, but they stayed well below toxic level.
- Intervention effect Early waterlogging decreased Cu concentrations in white oat below deficiency threshold levels.
- Observation Zinc status remained unaffected in all oat varieties under waterlogging.
- Intervention effect Late waterlogging raised Mn to toxic concentrations, but only in white and yellow oat.
- Observation After late waterlogging, all other micronutrients remained in a sufficient range.
