Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Dry matter yield was positively correlated with green fodder yield.
- Association Dry matter yield was correlated with leaves per plant.
- Association Leaf breadth was correlated with culm thickness.
- Association Leaf-stem ratio was negatively correlated with internode length.
- Association Green fodder yield was negatively correlated with tiller number.
- Association Culm thickness was negatively correlated with tiller number.
- Association Plant height, leaves per plant and leaf-stem ratio had moderate positive direct effects on green fodder yield.
- Association Tiller number per row length and culm thickness had high negative direct effects on green fodder yield.
- Association Green fodder yield had a high direct effect on dry matter yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend selecting thick stems, broad leaves, more leaves and shorter internodes to improve fodder yield and quality.
