Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Hand defoliation seldom gave statistically significant yield differences.
- Intervention effect Plants recovered completely from 10 or 33% early defoliation.
- Intervention effect Severe 67% defoliation caused slight yield reductions.
- Association Later maturing cultivars recovered more fully from early injury than earlier maturing cultivars.
- Intervention effect Mid-season injury caused the greatest yield reductions.
- Intervention effect Defoliation after mid-season had less effect on yield.
- Intervention effect Removing top leaves was most detrimental to yield.
- Intervention effect Removing lower leaves reduced yield only during mid-season.
- Intervention effect Nonuniform defoliation reduced yield more than uniform defoliation.
