Other claims from this paper (12)

Intervention effect N fertilizer significantly increased corn yield in three of four years after small grain.
Intervention effect N fertilization did not increase corn yield following alfalfa.
Intervention effect N fertilization significantly increased corn grain N content.
Observation Corn grain N content was higher following alfalfa.
Association One hundred percent relative yield corresponded to grain N content of 1.09 mol kg− 1.
Association June precipitation had no significant effect on corn yield.
Association Above average June heat units positively affected corn yield.
Association Models predicted above average July precipitation would increase corn yield.
Association More precipitation could offset above average July heat unit effects.
Method / resource Model predicted 114.3 mm July precipitation to reach 100% relative yield at mean heat units.
Method / resource At 114.3 mm precipitation, the predicted corn yield was 9.36 Mg ha− 1.
Method / resource The predicted N fertilizer requirement for that yield was 136 kg N ha− 1.

Use of Ethephon as a Plant Growth Regulator in Corn Production

J. M. Gaska; E. S. Oplinger Crop Science 1988. doi:10.2135/cropsci1988.0011183x002800060024x

Other claims from this paper (10)

Intervention effect Ethephon increased yields of hybrid 3377 up to 280 g ha −1.
Intervention effect Other tested corn hybrids showed decreased yields under ethephon.
Intervention effect Hybrid 3377 yield increased 0.77 Mg ha −1 (7.6%) with 280 g ha −1 in 1985.
Intervention effect High-rate ethephon increased grain yield per ear by 3% in hybrid 3377.
Intervention effect High-rate ethephon decreased grain yield per ear by 12% in hybrid 3737.
Intervention effect High-rate ethephon decreased plant and ear height by up to 20%.
Intervention effect High-rate ethephon decreased lodging by 63% in 1986.
Intervention effect High-rate ethephon decreased harvesting time by 20% in 1986.
Recommendation Under lodging-prone conditions, the authors suggest high-rate early ethephon may preserve yield and ease harvesting.
Recommendation Without lodging, high-rate late ethephon may reduce yield in some hybrids.
