Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect defoliation significantly reduced Leaf area and leaf area index.
- Intervention effect defoliation at successive leaf stages linearly declined Stem diameter.
- Intervention effect All defoliation treatments reduced dry matter.
- Intervention effect defoliation at the 5 leaf stage increased Grain yields.
- Intervention effect defoliating corn plants at the 5 leaf stage increase grain yield.
- Intervention effect all other defoliation treatments significantly reduced yields.
- Intervention effect Reducing corn plant density from 59,280 plants/ha. to 29,640 plants/ha. reduced grain yield.
- Recommendation For NC + 59, 49,400 to 59,280 plants per hectare was suggested as the most stable grain production density.
