Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource Model-predicted maize biomass, grain yield and N uptake were insensitive to the approaches used for quantifying N-deficit effects in the Leaf N mechanism.
- Method / resource Model-predicted maize biomass, grain yield and N uptake were significantly related to measurements.
- Method / resource Model-predicted biomass fit to measurements had r2 of 0.66–0.69.
- Method / resource Model-predicted grain yield fit to measurements had r2 of 0.50–0.54.
- Method / resource Model-predicted N uptake fit to measurements had r2 of 0.17–0.33.
- Method / resource Linear fits of predicted against measured values showed no significant difference among the three N approaches.
- Method / resource The Critical N mechanism was better than the Leaf N mechanism in simulating plant growth dynamics in early growth stages.
- Method / resource The Leaf N mechanism with both SLN dilution and GAI reduction was the best in predicting crop growth and yield.
