Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Hybrid and Peredovik responses to plant population were similar across three years.
- Intervention effect Yield, oil content, and test weight did not significantly change across the three plant populations.
- Association Increasing plant population increased hybrid height and days to flowering.
- Recommendation The authors recommend about 48,000 plants/ha for sunflower hybrids, as for Peredovik.
