Title
Wheat yield as affected by sowing rate, irrigation, and time of white clover introduction

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Wheat sown at 100 kg/ha yielded considerably more than wheat sown at 50 or 150 kg/ha.
- Observation The 150 kg/ha sowing rate resulted in the formation of many small ears.
- Intervention effect Wheat overdrilled with white clover in September or October outyielded wheat and clover sown together in June.
- Intervention effect Irrigation up to 2 weeks after anthesis increased wheat grain yield.
- Intervention effect Continuing irrigation through to harvest gave a further small increase in grain yield.
- Mechanism Yield responses to irrigation were largely attributable to tiller survival.
