- Intervention effect Sowing date affected tillering pattern.
- Observation Early-sown wheat tillers mostly emerged in autumn and winter.
- Observation Late-sown wheat tillered in spring.
- Observation Early-sown crops had mostly ears from early tillers.
- Observation Late-sown crops had many ears from late tillers.
