Book Description
Calendar days to black layer were reduced by delayed planting in 1994, and more so by the warm, dry early Fall in 1995. Days to 25% moisture responded to year effect much the same as days to black layer. GDD reductions per day of delayed planting were highest in 1995, indicating that more adjustment occurred in that year environment. Black layer moisture was relatively independent of location, hybrid and year, although moisture levels generally were elevated for delayed plantings. Average BL moistures due to delayed planting ranged from .6% higher in 1994 to 1.8% higher in 1995.
