Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Maize preemergent shoot growth was sensitive to small drying-rate differences.
- Intervention effect Rapid drying prevented maize emergence.
- Intervention effect Slow drying produced 78% maize emergence.
- Association Soil strength impeded maize shoot elongation at a cone index of 1.1 MPa.
- Association At 2 MPa soil strength, maize growth and emergence ceased.
- Association Soil strength development reflected both water removal and remaining-water distribution.
- Mechanism Rapid drying quickly reduced surface soil water and immediately produced high strength there.
- Mechanism First-internode sensitivity largely accounted for reduced maize shoot elongation at high soil strength.
- Intervention effect Coleoptile elongation rate showed no response to soil-strength treatment differences.
- Association Coleoptile twisting, buckling, and rupture were more prevalent at high soil strength.
