Outline of day/night temperatures (°C) and timing of treatments in the degraining experiments

Treatment stage
Treatment Pre-anthesis Pre-treatment Induction* Ripening
Ambient Polytunnel 25/15 25/15 Polytunnel
Mid → Low (B) Polytunnel 25/15 13/11 Polytunnel

*Induction started at 330 degree-days after anthesis and lasted 15 calendar days.

‘Option’ and ‘Potent’ remained in the polytunnel from planting (26 Dec. 2005) until maturity and are also classed as ambient.
