Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation In summer 1963 mean yields were similar at about 12000 kg/ha across populations.
- Observation Population yield values differed over the following three half year periods.
- Association Variety by treatment interactions occurred in every season.
- Intervention effect Severe winter defoliation reduced syn. 1 and syn. 2 summer production.
- Observation Syn. 1 offered no apparent production advantage over S. 170.
- Intervention effect Syn. 2 outyielded S. 170 only with spring sowing and infrequent or lax defoliations.
