GNO determines the sink size of the crop and under many conditions it is strongly correlated with yield. Grains/m2 (GNO) = yield (g/m2) / TGW (g) × 1000.Bell and Fischer, 1994, Reynolds et al., 2001, Pask et al., 2012grain/m2co_321http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CO_321_0000392

Randomly sample 5-10 spikes per plot, by selecting at the base of the culm. Count the total number of spikelets (pair-by-pair, from the base to the tip), then obtain the average. When sampling large numbers of samples or plots, time may be saved by randomly counting one side of the spike and multiplying by two.Bell and Fischer, 1994, Reynolds et al., 2001, Pask et al., 2012spikelet/spikeco_321http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CO_321_0000440
