Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect One generation of inbreeding reduced plant vigor enough to visually distinguish progenies.
- Intervention effect Selfed progeny forage yields were approximately half of open pollinated progeny yields.
- Observation Inbreeding depression varied considerably among parent plants.
- Intervention effect Inbreeding delayed flowering by approximately 10 days in the seedling year.
- Association Parental self compatibility showed no relationship with forage yield in selfed and open pollinated progeny.
- Observation Parents differed significantly in general combining ability.
- Observation Open pollinated progeny from several average vigor parents outperformed progeny of excellent vigor parents.
- Association Correlations among forage yield, height, spread, vigor score and flowering date were highly significant.
- Association Vigor score and forage yield had the strongest associations, with coefficients −0.93, −0.91 and −0.92 across three harvests.
