Fig. 1. Maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall (vertical bars), and pan evaporation during the field evaluation of 72 stay-green sources during the post-rainy seasons of 1998-1999 (A) and 1999-2000 (B) at ICRISAT, Patancheru, India. The horizontal arrow indicates the range in flowering time in each year.

Fig. 2. Field percentage green leaf area in relation to days from flowering for B 35 (stay -green) and SPV 783 (senescent) genotypes in 1998-1999 (A) and 1999-2000 (B). Equations were fitted to these points to estimate percentage green leaf area for various times after flowering.

Fig. 3. Dendrogram of 72 stay-green sources, based on percentage green leaf area at 15, 30, and 45 d after flowering in both 1998-1999 and 1999-2000. Clustering was truncated at five clusters, which retained 74% of the initial variation in percent green leaf area. See Table 2 for pedigree information.
