Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Strain C had smaller leaves and more compact growth than P.
- Intervention effect Under low cutting, C yielded more than P.
- Observation Under high cutting, strains usually showed little yield difference.
- Observation P worsened slightly relative to C under continued defoliation after day 55.
- Intervention effect Lower cutting height decreased total top yield.
- Intervention effect Infrequent cutting increased effective yield.
