Abstract
Three late varieties were evaluated for reaction to leaf removal at two-week intervals after heading. Defoliations performed up to the eighth week after heading significantly reduced 1000-seed weight in Alemaya 70. However, in the other two varieties, the seeds developed to the same weight as those from undefoliated plants, only if the leaves were left on the plants for at least ten weeks after heading
