Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect At low dosages Mendok-treated wheat plants were shorter than controls.
- Intervention effect At low dosages Mendok-treated wheat had stiffer straw.
- Intervention effect At low dosages Mendok-treated wheat was less susceptible to lodging.
- Intervention effect At low dosages Mendok-treated wheat gave a higher grain yield than controls.
- Intervention effect The grain yield increase per plant was significant at 250 ppm Mendok with two and three sprays.
- Intervention effect The grain yield increase on the basis of the tallest earing tiller was significant at 1,000 ppm Mendok with two, three and four sprays.
- Mechanism The grain yield increase was due to a greater number of earing tillers.
- Observation Mendok-treated wheat had more grains per ear, contributing to the higher grain yield.
- Intervention effect The number of earing tillers decreased at 1,000 ppm with four sprays.
