Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Hybrid 500 had the highest number of kernel rows per ear, 18.1 rows.
- Observation Hybrid 704 had the highest number of kernels per row, 24.4 kernels.
- Observation The number of kernels per ear did not differ significantly among the studied hybrids.
- Observation Hybrid 704 had the highest forage yield, 48.1 ton per hectare.
- Observation Hybrid 540 ranked next in forage yield, 42.6 ton per hectare.
- Observation Hybrid 500 ranked next in forage yield, 40.8 ton per hectare.
- Mechanism High performance of hybrid 704 depends on its high biomass production.
- Observation Hybrid 704 had dry weight of 118.9 gram per plant, significantly different from other hybrids.
- Intervention effect Increasing plant density significantly decreased forage yield per plant.
- Intervention effect The 12 cm row spacing gave the highest forage yield per unit area, 46.3 ton per hectare.
- Observation Only hybrid 500 reached maturity (dough stage) for harvest in the Bonab region.
- Recommendation Hybrid 500 is suitable for silage at dough stage.
- Recommendation Sowing hybrid 704 at the highest density is recommended if the purpose is grazing.
