Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Yield losses were greatest in the most severely infected plots where lodging was allowed.
- Intervention effect Yield losses were reduced where eyespot infection was less severe than in the most severely infected plots.
- Intervention effect Yield losses were reduced where lodging was prevented compared with plots where lodging was allowed.
- Association Regression of yield on eyespot severity was significant in the most severe eyespot year, even where lodging was prevented.
- Association Where lodging was allowed, regression lines were steeper for lodging-susceptible winter wheat cultivars.
- Association Regression lines did not differ between lodging-resistant winter wheat cultivars where lodging was allowed.
- Intervention effect Eyespot reduced the number of winter wheat tillers measured in spring.
- Observation Winter wheat showed partial compensation for tiller losses caused by eyespot later in the season.
- Intervention effect Severe eyespot infection reduced grain number per ear and 1000 grain weight of individual winter wheat tillers.
- Intervention effect Moderate eyespot infection reduced only 1000 grain weight of winter wheat.
- Intervention effect Slight eyespot infection caused no reduction in grain number per ear or 1000 grain weight of winter wheat tillers.
- Observation Tillers without severe eyespot infection produced extra grains in severely diseased winter wheat plots.
