The effects of forage removal on biomass and grain yield of intermediate and spring triticales

The dual-purpose use of cereals can be a convenient management option if grain yield (GY) is not significantly reduced. The effects of clipping at the terminal spikelet stage on biomass and grain production of an intermediate (‘Bienvenu’) and a spring (‘Oceania’) triticale cultivar grown at two sowing rates (300 and 600 seeds per m2) were analysed in terms of the changes induced on radiation and water capture and use and biomass partitioning in...
