- Mechanism In denser crops ears were smaller because spikelet differentiation, grain set and grain filling were inadequate.
- Association The date of tiller emergence largely determined the subsequent grain yield of the tiller.
- Intervention effect Later tiller initiation and emergence produced fewer ears.
- Mechanism With later tiller initiation and emergence, ears were smaller because spikelet initiation, spikelet differentiation, grain set and grain filling were reduced.
- Observation At low and moderate plant densities, grain yield of early-emerged tillers only slightly lagged behind that of main shoots.
- Intervention effect Maximum grain yield could be achieved at moderate plant densities.
- Recommendation In cereal farming, high and stable grain yields are best achieved with moderate plant densities and correct treatments for good crop growth.
