Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Medium duration sunflower types had higher harvest index than early or long duration varieties.
- Association Low dry matter partitioning to stem and thalamus was associated with high harvest index.
- Association High post flowering biomass accumulation was associated with high harvest index and seed yield.
- Mechanism In some genotypes photosynthate remobilization to seed produced high harvest index and seed yield.
- Association Seed number, test weight and seed density contributed to high harvest index.
- Recommendation Selecting genotypes by these criteria is predicted to increase production.
- Recommendation Manipulating photosynthate movement to the head is proposed to improve harvest index and seed yield.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron increased harvest index and seed yield.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators on the head improved photosynthate translocation.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators on the head increased harvest index and seed yield.
