Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Ethephon had highly significant effects on grain yield, plant height and ear height of maize.
- Intervention effect Ethephon had highly significant effects on brace root development of maize.
- Intervention effect Yield of hybrid 3901 generally decreased as ethephon rate increased.
- Intervention effect The lowest ethephon rate, 140 g ha -1, increased yield of hybrid 3780 by as much as 0.7 Mg ha -1.
- Association The yield response of hybrid 3901 to ethephon was linear.
- Association The yield response of hybrid 3780 to ethephon was quadratic.
- Intervention effect Increasing ethephon rate decreased plant and ear height of both hybrids.
- Intervention effect Increasing ethephon rate promoted brace root development of both hybrids.
- Association The response of hybrid 3901 was greater than that of hybrid 3780.
