Synopsis
Plant production reached a maximum at 12,000 to 16,000 plants per acre in eastern South Dakota. Grain production reached a maximum at the same level and fell off drastically if population levels exceeded this optimum. Under conditions of drouth, maximum yields may be associated with very low population levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
