Abstract
Seven soil supplement products did not affect grain or straw yields, or any of the measured yield components of unstressed wheat or of wheat subjected to an 8-bar soil water stress at early heading. Soil water stress reduced yields by reducing the number of spikes per plant and, to a lesser but significant degree, the number of kernels per spike and the average kernel weight.Keywords
