Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Sunflower grew under dryland conditions across a wide population and spacing range.
- Observation Hyderabad yield plateaued near 900 kg/ha at 18,000 to 32,000 plants/ha.
- Observation Hyderabad yield plateaued near 1,350 kg/ha at 56,000 to 98,000 plants/ha.
- Intervention effect At Swift Current, 25,000 plants/ha yielded 28% more than 125,000 plants/ha.
- Intervention effect At Swift Current, yield at 25,000 plants/ha was not significantly different from 75,000 plants/ha.
- Association Population influenced sunflower height and stem diameter.
- Association Population influenced rates of development.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 60,000 to 75,000 plants/ha and 35 to 60 cm rows for dryland production.
