Verbatim
e1“In two field experiments in which wheat was grown under high levels of nitrogenous fertiliser CCC treated plants outyielded the controls”
e2“This increase in grain yield was mainly due to an increase in the number of grains produced per ear, with a smaller contribution from a stimulation of tillering”
