Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect H. zea densities exceeded the podding threshold at some sites without yield differences among treatments.
- Association Yield was negatively related to injured flower number.
- Association Yield was negatively related to cumulative flower number.
- Association H. zea density was related to increased injured flower counts.
- Association No direct link between H. zea density and yield loss was observed.
- Recommendation The authors suggest H. zea density may be a poor flowering-stage threshold measure.
