Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation WC‐12NL required 41% fewer insecticide applications than Deltapine 61.
- Observation The first insecticide application for WC‐12NL was 21 days later.
- Observation The last insecticide application for WC‐12NL was 10 days earlier.
- Observation WC‐12NL had less seed damage caused by PBW than Deltapine 61.
- Observation WC‐12NL had earlier earlier than Deltapine 61.
- Observation WC‐12NL had inferior fiber properties than Deltapine 61.
- Intervention effect Ethephon increased earliness of Deltapine 61.
- Intervention effect Ethephon did not affect earliness of WC‐12NL, possibly because application was too late.
- Observation Location, season and interactions affected results without changing the main conclusion.
- Recommendation A line like WC‐12NL with improved fiber could be valuable where PBW is a problem.
