Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Growth of Indian ricegrass commenced in spring once soil temperatures stayed at 4 degrees C for at least 3 or 4 days.
- Observation Maximum plant size of Indian ricegrass was attained when soils warmed up early in the spring.
- Observation Maximum plant size of Indian ricegrass was attained when soil temperatures were relatively low later in the spring.
- Association Higher soil temperature late in the vegetative phase delayed anthesis in Indian ricegrass by about 3 days per degree Celsius above 10 degrees C.
- Association Additional moisture early in the season delayed anthesis in Indian ricegrass.
- Method / resource Relatively reliable estimates of foliage and seed biomass in Indian ricegrass were made from plant height, leaf length, seed stalk height, clump diameter and culm number.
- Method / resource The generalized biomass formulas for Indian ricegrass should be applicable to other cool-season bunch-grasses.
