Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Cultivar and plant density did not interact for crop growth rate, biomass, harvest index, or seed yield.
- Observation Dry matter production was higher in the wetter 2004 season.
- Intervention effect Population density did not affect crop growth rate.
- Intervention effect The lower density had higher harvest index in two location-years.
- Intervention effect Harvest index was similar between densities in the other two environments.
- Intervention effect Higher population increased yield in one location-year.
- Intervention effect Population density did not affect yield in the remaining location-years.
- Observation Fern leaf cultivars had higher crop growth rate in two location-years.
- Observation Leaf types did not differ significantly in crop growth rate in the other environment.
- Observation Fern leaf cultivars partitioned more dry matter to seed than unifoliate cultivars.
- Observation Fern leaf cultivars sustained similar biomass to unifoliate cultivars.
- Recommendation The authors suggest fern leaf cultivars may increase chickpea yield in the Northern Great Plains because of superior harvest index.
