Yield components of crops. The yield of a grain crop plant can be divided into various components which together contributed to the yield. These components include : Heads, ears or pods per acre... Number of kernels or seeds per head, ear or pod... Weight per kernel or seed... Any crop production factor which decreases any one of these factors results in decreased yield.... Full yield potential is almost never achieved because environmental conditions may limit one or more of the yield components during the growing season. 2, record 1, English, - yield%20component

La plupart des producteurs sont séduits par la perspective de semer et d'appliquer l'engrais en une même opération. Toutefois, lorsqu'une dose élevée d'azote est requise, cette opération combinée peut nuire à l'établissement des cultures et abaisser le rendement final en grains.

The damage to crop establishment, and suppression of full grain yield potential, limits the knife opener to low rates of seed row N when direct seeding. In contrast to the spoon opener, which also reduced wheat and barley seedling stand establishment at high N rates, placement of seed and urea-N in a narrow(2 cm) band with the knife resulted in damage which carried through to yield formation and grain filling.

Contrairement à la situation observée avec le coutre à cuiller, qui conduisait aussi à une réduction du nombre de plants de blé et d'orge lorsque l'azote était appliqué en doses élevées, l'emploi du coutre à couteau pour déposer les semences et le N-urée en une bande étroite (2 cm) s'est traduit par un endommagement des cultures qui s'est répercuté jusque dans les étapes de la production et du remplissage du grain.
