Because the newly developed extra-shart-duration lines are similar in height LO wheal. there is no problem in adopting mechanica1 imercu!lure and insecticide spraying oper;Hions using equipment designed for ceM real crops. However. because of their thick and woody stem, the feasibility of mechanical harvesting and threshing of...
