Sawfly infestation May 26 Metabolomics research
20” rain in May Waterlogged soil, severe lodging “Our materials are not adapted here” (note in my field book) Cutting readily observable Plugs in stems

help much for either grain yield or stem infestation
unbiased predictors) drastically shrunk toward the mean compared to BLUEs (best linear unbiased estimates, LSM)
performed very well
