Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Tiller yield components decreased with higher tiller position and greater drought degree and duration.
- Association Kernels per spike, kernel weight and grain yield per spike of T2, T3, T10 and T4 decreased more than in other tillers.
- Intervention effect Severe drought during Waddington stages 4 to 5 significantly decreased tiller seed set.
- Intervention effect Five days of mild drought during stages 4 to 5 had little effect on tiller seed set.
- Intervention effect Short-term severe drought before Waddington stage 4 had little effect on tiller seed set.
- Mechanism Spike developmental stage, separation from the main stem, and competition among tillers determined ear-bearing capacity.
- Intervention effect Short-term mild drought rapidly decreased ear-bearing rate of T3 and T10 tillers.
- Observation Ear-bearing rate of T20 and T11 tillers increased and compensated for spike loss per plant.
- Intervention effect Short-term mild drought at jointing had no significant effect on grain yield of either cultivar.
- Recommendation The authors expect timely irrigation at jointing to increase ear-bearing rate, seed set and grain yield.
