Sorghum tiller emergence and fertility
Early determinants of subsequent tiller fertility are expected to predict yield accurately. Lafarge et al. (pp. 87-98) observed that the same plant tiller hierarchy applied for emergence of tillers and for their subsequent fertility and grain number. This hierarchy was highly dependent on early tiller leaf area development and held for a wide range of plant densities.
