Abstract

Statistical treatment of yield data from potatoes, sugar-beet, peas, wheat, barley, flax and maize grown in short- and long-term experiments where water and mineral supplies were optimum showed that variations in yields, especially those of potatoes, were positively correlated with the total global radiation received during the growing period. Partial correlation coefficients showed that the length of the growing period and the annual yield increase might explain much of the yield variation.-G.M.H.
