Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Nitrogen affected individual plant grain yield mainly through kernel number, more evidently at two plant populations.
- Intervention effect Appropriate nitrogen improved apical kernel development and increased kernel number by reducing aborted kernels.
- Association Nitrogen use efficiency could increase when more absorbed nitrogen was distributed to kernels.
- Intervention effect Appropriate nitrogen could sustain higher leaf photosynthetic ability and more assimilate provision to grain.
- Intervention effect Appropriate nitrogen could accelerate carbon and nitrogen mobilization from vegetative organs to grain.
