Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Mild flowering-stage water shortage followed by ample water gave high seed yield at lower nodes of cv. Alfred.
- Intervention effect The i-d water pattern yielded 20-60% less seed at lower nodes than d-i.
- Intervention effect The i-i water pattern yielded 20-60% less seed at lower nodes than d-i.
- Mechanism Lower pod number per node mainly explained the lower seed yields.
- Observation The i-i pattern compensated low pod retention at lower nodes with retention at higher nodes.
- Observation The i-d pattern did not compensate lower-node pod retention at higher nodes.
- Association Total dry matter production alone explained 75-85% of seed-yield variation.
- Association Adding water-supply patterns explained more than 90% of seed-yield variation.
- Intervention effect The i-i pattern caused suboptimal dry-matter partitioning to reproductive organs relative to d-i.
