MATTHEW J. RINELLA; JAMES J. KELLS; RICHARD W. WARD Weed Technology 2001. doi:10.1614/0890-037x(2001)015[0523:rowwwt]2.0.co;2
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Dicamba similarly affected spikelet number and seed weight in Harus and Wakefield.
- Intervention effect Dicamba caused underdeveloped seeds in Wakefield in field and greenhouse trials.
- Observation The underdeveloped seeds contributed little to yield and could not be mechanically harvested.
- Intervention effect Dicamba reduced fully developed Wakefield seed number by up to 62% in the field.
- Intervention effect Dicamba reduced fully developed Wakefield seed number by up to 92% in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Harus fully developed seed number fell only when dicamba was applied later than recommended.
- Mechanism Loss of fully developed seeds was the primary cause of dicamba-associated yield loss.
- Mechanism Pollen abnormalities made only a minor contribution to underdeveloped seeds.
