Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Top canopy leaves had about twice the RPP of middle leaves.
- Observation Top canopy leaves had five times the RPP of bottom canopy leaves.
- Observation Middle canopy areas contributed most to grain yield at very low population.
- Observation Top canopy areas were the main grain yield contributors at intermediate or high populations.
- Observation Tolerant and intolerant hybrids differed greatly in RPP under defoliation at high plant population.
