Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The maturity groups showed no appreciable differences for most measured parameters.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture deficit significantly reduced crop establishment parameters across both maturity groups.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture deficit significantly reduced morpho-physiological growth parameters.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture deficit significantly reduced yield components and grain yield.
- Association Grain yield reduction under water stress was significantly related to genotype drought susceptibility index.
- Observation Extra-early genotypes had good yield potential but poor drought tolerance and yield stability.
- Observation Early genotypes had lower yield potential but good yield stability.
- Recommendation The authors judged extra-early genotypes potentially unsuitable for the southern Guinea savanna under severe stress.
- Recommendation The authors considered early genotypes promising for the southern Guinea savanna.
