Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Measured terminal velocities of wheat stem particles coincided with values calculated for spherical particles (4.92 and 3.37 m s -1).
- Association Wheat stem particle mass was significantly positively correlated with terminal velocity, which ranged from 3.13 to 5.14 m s -1.
- Association Wheat stem particle density was significantly positively correlated with terminal velocity, which ranged from 3.12 to 5.11 m s -1.
- Observation Particle mass, particle density and terminal velocity did not overlap between wheat stem internodes and nodes.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that terminal velocity has potential to separate nodes from internodes of similar-sized wheat stems at a given moisture content.
