Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Grain yield was highest in the zero tillage testing environment, with differences of 0.11, 0.65 and 0.42 t ha-1 in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
- Observation Yield differences between selection streams were marginal and usually not significant.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that selection under either tillage condition does not negatively affect progeny performance within the studied germplasm pool.
- Recommendation The authors proposed testing the apparent neutrality of zero tillage selection in other environments and germplasm pools.
