Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Harvesting three rows minimised variance of proso millet yield.
- Intervention effect Number of rows harvested had a greater effect on yield variance of proso millet than number of rows planted.
- Intervention effect Plots with one border row of their own genotype on each side produced higher proso millet yields than plots with zero or two border rows.
- Recommendation Planting five rows and harvesting the centre three rows is the optimum plot size for testing proso millet cultivars.
