Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Ethephon reduced leaf area index, its duration and crop growth rate.
- Intervention effect Ethephon reduced plant and ear height.
- Intervention effect Higher ethephon rates significantly reduced early season plant height, LAI and LAID.
- Intervention effect Ethephon treated plants yielded more grain than controls.
- Mechanism Water stressed maize used available water better when early vegetative growth was restricted.
- Association Maize yield response to ethephon varied with density and water availability.
