Other claims from this paper (10)
- Method / resource In 1986 cold-test correlation with field emergence was 0.43.
- Method / resource In 1986 soak-test correlation with field emergence was 0.40.
- Method / resource In 1987 cold-test correlation with emergence was 0.74.
- Association Test-emergence correlations varied with location and year.
- Intervention effect Drying seeds to 80 g kg −1 moisture decreased field emergence 5% in both years.
- Association Inbred line and year interacted significantly for field emergence.
- Observation Only one inbred was significantly affected in both years.
- Method / resource Both tests agreed 60% when predicting inbreds in the lowest 30% emergence class.
- Recommendation The soak test was considered a rapid, inexpensive tool to exclude poor-emergence inbreds.
- Method / resource The cold test was superior for predicting emergence across many inbreds and environments.
