Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nematicide improved winter cereal yields by 6 to 17%.
- Observation Tolerance differed among 45 spring cereal cultivars.
- Observation Tolerance did not differ among winter cereal cultivars.
- Method / resource The analysis estimated 40 comparisons for spring cereal tolerance ratings at 95% confidence.
- Method / resource The analysis estimated 56 comparisons for winter cereal tolerance ratings at 95% confidence.
- Observation The two nematodes were estimated to reduce regional yields by as much as 5% annually.
- Observation Estimated annual regional yield loss equaled 361 Gg.
- Observation Estimated annual regional yield loss was valued at $51 million.
- Recommendation The authors judged yield based screening impractical for routine use.
