Effects of sowing rate, irrigation, and nitrogen on the components of yield of spring-sown semidwarf and standard New Zealand wheats
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1975)
'Karamu', a Mexican semidwarf wheat, outyielded 'Aotea' and 'Arawa' by an average of 20% when spring sown because of better grain set per spikelet and by the formation of more spikelets per ear. Irrigation raised grain ...
Levels of water-soluble carbohydrate in the pre-anthesis ear of wheat, and grain set per spikelet
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1975)
Low levels of water-soluble carbohydrates in wheat ears before emergence were associated with poor grain set per spikelet when seeding rates were approximately twice conventional ones. Grain set and grain filling in 'Arawa' ...
Development and yield components of high-yielding wheat crops
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1977)
In a field experiment, 'Arawa' wheat outyielded 'Aotea' by 10% through the production of a higher grain yield per ear. Irrigation had no effect on grain yield because of plant uptake of subsoil moisture. Nitrogen increased ...
