Phenological optimization of late reproductive phase for raising wheat yield potential in irrigated mega-environments
Using a gene-based phenology model to identify optimal flowering periods of spring wheat in irrigated mega-environments
To maximise the grain yield of spring wheat, flowering needs to coincide with the optimal flowering period (OFP) by minimising frost …
