JOHN M. CLARKE Canadian Journal of Plant Science 1981. doi:10.4141/cjps81-122
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Yield was unaffected by cutting time or drying method.
- Intervention effect Grain N content was unaffected by cutting time or drying method.
- Association Artificially dried wheat test weight increased with delayed cutting at lower kernel moisture.
- Association Windrowed Neepawa test weight changed very little with cutting time.
- Association Windrowed Dirkwin test weight peaked at 25% KMC.
- Association Windrowed Fielder test weight peaked at 25% KMC.
- Association Cultivar 1000-kernel weight increased as KMC fell in one of two years.
- Association Windrowed wheat falling number stayed constant across cutting times.
- Association Artificially dried wheat falling number increased linearly as harvest KMC fell.
- Observation Windrowed grain commercial grades reached maximum by 35% KMC in all three cultivars.
- Observation Artificially dried grain reached maximum grades only when cut at 20% KMC or less.
