Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Insecticide applications reduced densities of cereal leaf beetle and its damage to flag leaves at Queenstown during 2009.
- Intervention effect Insecticide applications reduced aphid densities at Upper Marlboro during 2011.
- Intervention effect Insecticide application reduced arthropod predators at Queenstown in 2009.
- Intervention effect Fungicide applications reduced leaf spot severity symptoms at Queenstown in 2009 and at both sites in 2011.
- Association Grain yield was negatively correlated with the percentage of severely damaged flag leaves in 2009.
- Recommendation Prophylactic sprays will not enhance wheat yields in the absence of high pest pressure.
