Title

Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect CCC increased yield more at close than usual spacing.
- Association Spacing and yield showed no interaction.
- Intervention effect Extra nitrogen gave no evidence of continued yield increase when CCC prevented lodging.
- Intervention effect During a dry spell at ear emergence, CCC raised spring wheat yield by 6 cwt/acre.
- Intervention effect During a dry spell at ear emergence, irrigation raised spring wheat yield by 10 cwt.
- Intervention effect CCC usually made grains smaller in unlodged wheat.
- Intervention effect By preventing lodging CCC could increase grain size.
- Intervention effect CCC usually decreased leaf area per shoot.
- Intervention effect CCC variably changed flag leaf size.
- Association Flag-leaf area was not clearly related to grain yield.
- Intervention effect Grain yield was unchanged when CCC reduced flag-leaf area duration by 25%.
- Recommendation The authors suggest CCC gives a more than even chance of profitable yield increase.
