Question

    What is the critical growth stage in wheat when moisture

    stress can cause maximum yield reduction due to impaired pollination and grain setting?
    A Tillering Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Booting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Flowering Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Crown root initiation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Maturity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
