Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Apical kernel filling rate was significantly lower than at middle and basal positions.
- Observation The apical versus middle and basal filling-rate difference was greatest at peak filling.
- Observation Before peak filling, basal kernel filling rate exceeded middle kernel filling rate.
- Observation After peak filling, basal kernel filling rate was slightly lower than middle kernel filling rate.
- Observation At 50 days after pollination, upper kernel filling rates were still increasing in some varieties.
- Association Stalk sugar consumption peaked around the peak in kernel filling rates, especially in hybrids.
- Recommendation The authors suggest using high-stalk-sugar hybrids and delaying harvest to increase maize kernel weight.
