- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased grain and stover yields in all genotypes, especially hybrids.
- Intervention effect N-fertilized plants had lower water potential and relative water content.
- Intervention effect N-fertilized plants had higher photosynthetic rates and leaf area.
- Intervention effect N-fertilized plants had higher chlorophyll, starch and reducing sugars.
- Observation HHB-67 and Barmer had higher grain yields than other genotypes in 1997.
- Observation HHB-67 and CZ-IC-718 had higher grain yields in 1998.
- Observation Barmer had the highest dry matter production in both years.
- Observation Landrace yields exceeded composites and were comparable to hybrids.
- Mechanism Authors attribute enhanced growth and yield to improved metabolism and nitrogen utilization.
