Recorded as DAP, when four tillers from a plant had exerted panicles. Up to five plants per plot were marked for characterization, based on the apparent morphological variation.  bMeasured from the base of the panicle to the tip of the flag leaf of the main culm.  cFive panicles were measured per plant.  dDetermined by applying equal force to each sample, as described in “Materials and Methods.”
