Ethephon Influence on Harvestable Yield, Grain Quality, and Lodging of Corn

O. S. Norberg; S. C. Mason; S. R. Lowry Agronomy Journal 1988. doi:10.2134/agronj1988.00021962008000050015x

Other claims from this paper (10)

Intervention effect Ethephon reduced lodging of corn.
Intervention effect At ear elongation, 0.56 kg ha −1 ethephon reduced lodging in P3377 and P3183 from 30 to 9%.
Intervention effect This ethephon rate produced 52 fewer kernels per ear.
Intervention effect This ethephon rate reduced kernel weight by 7 to 17 mg.
Intervention effect This ethephon rate increased harvestable ears by 0.2 to 0.6 ears m −2.
Intervention effect Increasing ethephon rate linearly decreased harvestable grain yield except at ear elongation in 1986.
Intervention effect At ear elongation in 1986, increasing ethephon rate increased harvestable ears per square meter.
Intervention effect Specified 0.56 kg ha −1 ethephon timings reduced harvestable grain yield by about 1 Mg ha −1.
Intervention effect Ethephon significantly affected grain protein content, kernel density, and breakage susceptibility, with small effects.
Recommendation The authors found little incentive to apply ethephon to corn under similar conditions.
