Pearson correlation coefficients between fiber yield and daily phenotype growth rates calculated between different days after planting (DAP) in 2016.

14 July to 28 July (DAP 51-65)	0.54***	0.39***	0.32**	0.52***	0.43***
28 July to 04 August (DAP 65-72)	NS	NS	NS	0.51***	0.58***
04 August to 19 August (DAP 72-87)	NS	0.22**	0.21**	0.52***	0.38***

Pearson correlation tests used data from 100 plants (n = 100) in the field. Asterisks (or abbreviations) indicated different statistical signifiance levels: NS for not significant, * for p-value < 0.05, ** for p-value < 0.01, *** for p-value < 0.001.
