Other claims from this paper (9)

Association Hybrid by tillage interaction was not significant for plant density.
Association Hybrid by tillage interaction was inconsequential for grain yield except at Beltsville.
Observation No hybrid consistently performed better under conventional tillage.
Intervention effect In 1982 tillage did not significantly affect grain yield.
Intervention effect In 1983 no‐till grain yield exceeded conventional yield by 17 to 24% at three locations.
Intervention effect In 1984 no‐till increased yield by 19% at one location.
Association Grain yield and plants per hectare were not significantly correlated.
Recommendation The authors concluded that selecting genetic traits for no‐till yield may be unnecessary in this area.

Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation Control soybean cultivars gained markedly in total dry weight because pod weight increased.
Observation The wild soybean variety had a lower total dry weight increase.
Intervention effect Pod removal decreased plant weight increment in Tamahomare.
Intervention effect Pod removal did not affect plant weight increment in the wild soybean variety, owing to leaf and stem compensation.
Intervention effect Pod removal markedly decreased dinitrogen fixation in Tamahomare.
Intervention effect Control and depodded wild soybean plants did not differ distinctly in fixation activity.
Intervention effect Pod removal decreased fixed-N increment in Tamahomare.
Intervention effect Pod removal slightly decreased fixed-N increment in Harosoy.
Intervention effect Pod removal had no effect on fixed-N increment in Nakei-No. 1, with compensation in stems, petioles and roots.
Association The effect of pod removal on fixation varied among cultivars and depended on growth habit.

Other claims from this paper (9)

Observation Prolific genotypes had greater N utilization efficiency at all N fertility levels.
Observation Prolific genotypes partitioned a larger proportion of plant N to grain.
Mechanism Prolific genotypes apparently increased N remobilization.
Intervention effect Increased N fertility raised ear number per plant in semi-prolific genotypes.
Intervention effect Increased N fertility raised grain N content in semi-prolific genotypes.
Intervention effect Increased N fertility raised grain yield in semi-prolific genotypes.
Intervention effect Dry matter partitioned to grain increased with N fertility in semi-prolific genotypes.
Association Grain yield response to N fertility did not necessarily indicate greater N utilization efficiency.
Recommendation Selecting for prolificacy under low N fertility may identify genotypes with more efficient N utilization.
