Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Earlier thinning increased stem, leaf, shoot and ear dry weight accumulation.
- Observation Thinning at sowing produced the greatest reported growth and yield component characteristics.
- Intervention effect Thinning delayed to the 12-leaf stage significantly reduced stem dry weight and ear kernel weight.
- Intervention effect Thinning at tasseling reduced final stem dry weight by 20.47% relative to thinning at sowing.
- Intervention effect Delaying thinning to tasseling likewise lowered leaf, shoot and ear dry weight accumulation.
- Intervention effect Thinning delayed until the 12-leaf stage or later significantly reduced ear kernel weight relative to sowing-time thinning.
- Mechanism Lower ear kernel weight after delayed thinning was attributed to fewer kernels per ear row and lower 1000-kernel weight.
- Association Kernel number per ear row and 1000-kernel weight were sensitive to light environment.
