Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Barley varieties produced up to twice the dry matter of wheat or oats cultivars before defoliation.
- Intervention effect Mowing after stem elongation more than halved early maturing grain yield relative to no defoliation.
- Intervention effect Later maturing varieties had less grain yield loss from mowing after stem elongation.
- Intervention effect Defoliation before stem elongation caused little or no grain yield loss during two very dry seasons.
- Intervention effect Long-season winter wheat grain yield was similar across defoliation timings.
- Observation Winter wheat had no yield advantage over defoliated spring cereals.
