The shoot height was normalized to the median shoot height of the respective experiment. The developmental stage (BBCH) was rank-transformed (rank 1 least developed) within each experiment. The trial-id of big-bag experiments starts with a B, of field experiments with a F. Df, degrees of freedom for the model error; F, F statistic; p, probability. Df(E)= 1, Df(G) = 2, Df(E×G) = 2.
