Verbatim

e6“Ethephon treated plants had less grains per main shoot panicle, lower panicle filling rate (PFR) and parallel decreased harvest index (HI)”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Chlormequat chloride increased oat grain yield by 0% to 13%, depending on cultivar and year.
- Intervention effect Ethephon most often decreased oat grain yield by up to 17%.
- Observation No lodging occurred in the oat trials, so the grain yield increase under CCC was not due to lodging prevention.
- Intervention effect CCC treatment increased the number of panicles per square meter in oat.
- Observation In 1995, tillers contributed more to oat grain yield.
- Intervention effect Ethephon-treated oat had fewer grains per main shoot panicle.
- Intervention effect Ethephon decreased the harvest index of oat.
- Intervention effect CCC enhanced stem elongation of dwarf oat, in contrast to conventional and naked cultivars.
