Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association Cycocel rate and seed rate interacted significantly for grain yield at Ziswa Farm only.
- Intervention effect Increasing cycocel rate increased wheat grain yield at the 160 kg·ha −1 seed rate.
- Intervention effect Cycocel rate significantly affected number of days taken by wheat plants to reach 50% anthesis and physiological maturity at both sites, with direction unspecified.
- Intervention effect Cycocel rate significantly affected number of tillers per plant, number of spikes per square meter, number of spikelets per spike at both sites, with direction unspecified.
- Intervention effect Cycocel rate significantly affected number of grains per spike, number of lodged plants, and 1000‐grain weight at both sites, with direction unspecified.
- Intervention effect Seed rate influenced tiller counts and spike density at both sites.
- Intervention effect Cycocel reduced plant height across planting densities.
- Mechanism Cycocel shortened internodes, which the authors attribute as the cause of reduced height.
- Intervention effect Cycocel reduced lodging across planting densities.
- Intervention effect Cycocel increased wheat grain yield even at high seed rates.
- Intervention effect Increasing seed rate without cycocel increased lodging of wheat plants.
- Intervention effect Increasing seed rate without cycocel reduced grain yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend cycocel at 1.5 L·ha −1 with 160 kg·ha −1 seed rate to control lodging and increase wheat yield.
