Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association Genotypic tillering capacity differed with leaf width.
- Observation Wide-leaved genotypes increased tiller number by 302% over 15 weeks.
- Observation Narrow-leaved genotypes increased tiller number by 406% over 15 weeks.
- Intervention effect Increasing stubble height increased tillering and energy reserves.
- Intervention effect Increasing stubble height lowered forage yield.
- Intervention effect Leaving more tillers uncut from 0 to 20% increased tillering, dry matter yield, and energy reserves.
- Intervention effect These traits tended to remain constant from 20 to 40% intact tillers.
- Association Genotype and temperature significantly affected tillering across the tested temperature regimes.
- Observation Maximum tillering occurred at 22/12 C.
- Association Tillering declined significantly at higher temperatures.
- Observation North African narrow-leaved genotype 194‐24 produced more tillers than North American strains and cultivars.
- Association Leaf width and tiller number were negatively correlated.
- Association Neither leaf width nor tiller number significantly correlated with dry matter yield.
