Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Seeding rate had significant effects on final stand count, with greater rates giving greater stand counts.
- Observation Final stand count was closer to the target at lower seeding rates.
- Association Grain yield was affected by seeding rate, independently of variety, at both locations.
- Association Grain yield was affected by variety, independently of seeding rate, at both locations.
- Association The interaction of seeding rate and variety did not affect grain yield at either location.
- Observation In Belleville, yields ranged from 53.4 to 85.6 bushels per acre across seeding rates.
- Observation In Leoti, yields ranged from 66.7 to 92.7 bushels per acre.
- Observation KS Big Bow was the highest-yielding variety across sites.
- Mechanism The high yield of KS Big Bow in Belleville could be attributed to wheat streak mosaic virus in the study site.
- Recommendation The authors suggest managing seeding rate and variety independently in wheat.
