“…As an example of the relationship between CCN density and grain yield, H. filipjevi in Iran reduced the yield of rainfed winter wheat at all densities ranging from 2.5 to 20 eggs plus J2s/g of soil, with the lowest and highest densities causing 11 and 48% reductions in yield, respectively [32]. Andersen [33] reported that the numbers of H. avenae cysts produced on barley were 12, 24, 26, and 33 cysts/plant at initial densities of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 eggs plus J2s/g of soil. In the northwestern U.S.A., rainfed wheat yields are generally reduced when the number of H. avenae eggs plus J2s from extracted cysts, present within the soil, exceeds 3/g of soil [29].…”
