Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Planting date accounted for 70% of the variability in maize grain yield.
- Association Relative maturity accounted for 10% of the variability in maize grain yield.
- Association Short and full-season hybrid relative maturities produced similar maize grain yields regardless of planting date when the crops reached maturity.
- Observation Time to silking is a good indication of expected maize yield potential in Iowa.
- Observation The critical time for maize in Iowa was 23 July, beyond which yield is reduced.
- Observation Silking beyond 25 July was detrimental to maize yield.
- Association A minimum growing degree accumulation of 648°C-day during the grain-filling period maximized maize yield.
