Wheat, CV. Timgalen, was grown under high fertility (225 kg N per hectare) conditions and spray irrigation. CCC applied either as a powder with the seed or as a spray at jointing (5.6 kg CCC per hectare) increased grain yield. The higher grain yield was a result of prevention of lodging, of a greater density of ear bearing tillers, and of more grains per ear. Spraying was more effective than banding CCC with the seed and avoided the problem associated with slower seedling growth and increased weed competition. |
