Other claims from this paper (4)
- Method / resource The shading approach assigned a similar photosynthetic contribution to the ear and to the culm.
- Observation The DCMU approach assigned a greater role to the culm in grain filling.
- Intervention effect Herbicide application to the culm affected the ear and biased the final grain weight.
- Method / resource DCMU and shading approaches may cause compensatory effects that overestimate the contribution of unaffected organs.
