Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Ground water of EC 0.5 mmho/cm at 60 and 90-cm depths gave the highest wheat yields.
- Intervention effect Soil submergence up to 2 days did not affect wheat growth.
- Intervention effect Soil submergence decreased wheat yield gradually up to 5 days and sharply thereafter.
- Intervention effect Prolonged soil submergence reduced protein content in wheat grain, as indexed by N content.
- Recommendation Excess water should be drained from the root zone within 3 days of submergence to protect wheat grain quality and production.
