Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect 3732 pollen decreased B × 7 grain yield at 275 kg N ha −1.
- Intervention effect 3732 pollen advanced physiological maturity of B × 7 by three days.
- Intervention effect L × 6 pollen increased 3732 yield relative to B × 7 pollen.
- Intervention effect Pollen source did not alter kernel number or average kernel weight.
- Intervention effect Pollen type did not affect yield under low N fertility.
- Intervention effect L × 6 pollen reduced B × 7 yield at 67 kg N ha −1.
- Intervention effect Cross-pollination with long-season types did not alter early-season hybrid yields.
- Observation Earlier 3732 yield gains from B × 7 pollen were not reproduced in either study year.
