- Association Damage type, timing and soil moisture influenced wheat growth response.
- Intervention effect Ground-level cutting produced the greatest biomass reduction.
- Intervention effect Late damage prevented recovery of lost biomass despite higher relative growth rates.
- Intervention effect Damaged wheat had higher relative growth rates than controls.
- Association Recovery was greatest at sites with the most available soil moisture.
- Intervention effect Damage reduced heads per plant.
- Intervention effect Damage reduced kernel weight.
- Intervention effect Seed number per head usually did not differ between damaged and control plants.
