Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Light fall grazing lowered grain yield compared with controls in 1983 to 1984.
- Intervention effect Heavy fall grazing lowered grain yield compared with controls in 1983 to 1984.
- Intervention effect Spring grazing lowered grain production non-significantly in 1984 to 1985.
- Intervention effect Fall-only, spring-only and combined grazing gave mixed effects on grain yield in 1985 and 1986.
- Intervention effect Grazing lowered straw yields in all three years.
- Intervention effect Harvest index of grain was nearly always higher for grazed wheat.
- Association Weather differences affected grain production between years more than grazing stresses within a year.
- Observation Yield components were influenced inconsistently by the grazing treatments.
- Intervention effect Moderate grazing did not damage TAM W-101 grain yield when trampling was avoided.
