  • Grain Growing
CONT

Grain filling, the stage of development during which dry matter is deposited in the grain, is initiated shortly after anthesis. The amount of dry matter deposited into the grain is influenced by both the rate and duration of grain filling, which in turn can be influenced by both genotype and environment.

CONT

Under favourable grain filling conditions, there is less variation in grain size than in other yield components ... as mobilisation of stem reserves and nitrogen can maintain grain filling under mild terminal stresses.
