Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Heat stress between heading and maturity was more severe in the cooler northern wheat-growing regions than in the warmer southern regions of China.
- Observation The rate of increase in heat stress was higher in the south than in the north.
- Association Grain yield was significantly correlated with post-heading heat stress and average temperature across the entire wheat-producing region.
- Association Post-heading heat stress and average temperature explained about 29% of the observed spatial and temporal yield variability.
- Method / resource A heat stress index considering the duration and intensity of heat between heading and maturity was required to describe the correlation between heat stress and yield variability.
