e0“water use efficiency for grain yield increased by about 10% compared to the control.”

- Intervention effect After main stem and big tillers were clipped, barren tiller physiological activity recovered to that of fertile shoots.
- Intervention effect After tiller clipping, plant height uniformity, spike weight, spike number, and grain yield significantly decreased.
- Intervention effect Clipping did not prevent propagation of the next generation.
- Intervention effect Clipping barren tillers did not affect yield.
