Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource Temperature-dependent emergence prediction equations were developed for 15 maize inbreds.
- Observation Regression slopes differed among maize inbreds.
- Association Growing-degree units to 50% emergence varied significantly among lots within maize inbred lines at the 0.01 level.
- Association Growing-degree units to 50% emergence varied significantly across maize field plantings at the 0.01 level.
- Association Field planting by inbred line interactions significantly affected growing-degree units to 50% emergence at the 0.01 level.
- Method / resource The predictive equations show promise in reducing subjective planting-rate decisions.
