Paper Summary

A study in Nepal looked at different types of wheat to see how traits like plant height and grain weight affect yield. They found that biological yield and harvest index have the biggest direct impact on grain yield. Other traits like grains per spike also play a role in indirectly affecting yield through these main factors. This means that focusing on biological yield and harvest index can help improve wheat yield.
