Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Cutting roots 1.5 cm from the base gave growth similar to the control.
- Intervention effect Cutting roots to 0.5 cm significantly reduced growth.
- Intervention effect Excising tips of a seminal and four crown roots barely influenced growth and third-leaf emergence.
- Intervention effect Cutting the bases of a seminal and longest crown root severely reduced growth.
- Association Transplanted seedling growth decreased with remaining total root length.
- Mechanism Authors conjecture crown roots promote post-transplant rooting and development through water and nutrient uptake.
