e4“As a result the leaf area index value of LRS was much greater than the NLRS and similar to the conventional hybrids”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Population density did not change leaf number above the ear
- Association Leaf area index increased with population density for all hybrids
- Intervention effect The leafy reduced-stature hybrid had 2.7 and 2.0 more leaves above the ear than the NLRS and control hybrids
- Observation Leaf area index of the leafy reduced-stature hybrid was similar to conventional hybrids
- Intervention effect Leafy reduced-stature hybrid matured substantially before conventional hybrids
- Intervention effect Leafy reduced-stature hybrid required fewer corn heat units to flowering and maturity
- Intervention effect Leafy reduced-stature hybrid had more time for grain filling than conventional hybrids
- Recommendation Leafy reduced-stature hybrids show promise for production in short-season areas
