Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Wheat grain yield was 9 ± 2% higher when sown in 7 cm bands with 12.5 cm spacing than in 2 cm rows
- Intervention effect Barley responded to the sowing methods to a lesser extent than wheat
- Intervention effect Wheat yield was 5 ± 2% higher in 7 cm bands with 12.5 cm spacing than in 10 cm bands with 25 cm spacing
- Intervention effect Barley yield was 2 ± 1% higher in 7 cm bands with 12.5 cm spacing than in 10 cm bands with 25 cm spacing
- Intervention effect Increasing the seeding rate from low to normal increased spring cereal yields
- Intervention effect Increasing the seeding rate from low to normal speeded up spring cereal ripening
- Intervention effect Increasing the seeding rate from low to normal decreased the weight of spring cereal grains
- Intervention effect Rolling speeded up spring cereal ripening
- Intervention effect Rolling did not significantly increase spring cereal grain yields
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased barley grain yield by 29 ± 9%
- Intervention effect Sowing methods had no noteworthy influence on the ripening or the weight of wheat grains
- Intervention effect Grain yields were not further improved when normal seeding rates were exceeded
- Recommendation The band sowing method with relatively small spacings is worth further and more detailed study
