Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Maize leaf area showed moderate variation that first decreased then increased with growth stage.
- Mechanism Low leaf area values mainly caused spatial variability across growth stages.
- Association At the observed scale, axis weight per ear, ear weight and grain weight per ear were most strongly related to leaf area at milk, filling and jointing stages.
- Association At multiple scales, axis weight per ear was most related to leaf area at tasseling, filling, milk and jointing stages.
- Association At multiple scales, ear and grain weight per ear were most related to leaf area at tasseling, filling and ripening.
