Fig. 8. — Effects of altering the source–sink balance on shoot dry weight and on total water used for maize, sorghum, and pearl millet grown in lysimeters in the field (Exp. 5) under WW conditions. The source–sink balance was altered by removal of the cobs in maize and the panicles in sorghum and pearl millet (for ease of presentation, ‘panicle’ in the figure also refers to ‘cobs’). (A) Total shoot dry weight at final harvest and (B) total water used. Data are means (±SE) of 10 genotypes for maize and pearl millet, and 16 genotypes of sorghum, with five replicate plants being sampled to determine the mean for each genotype. Bars indicating the LSD at P<0.01 for the treatment effect within each species are shown.
