Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Alternative fertilization differently affected fruit quality and antioxidant characteristics compared with control.
- Observation Soil surface temperature on the tree row increased under alternative fertilization.
- Intervention effect Alternative fertilization did not affect leaf macronutrients, which were at sufficiency levels.
- Intervention effect Alternative fertilization differently affected plant Fv/Fm, crop water stress index and stem water potential.
- Intervention effect Alternative fertilization differently affected leaf specific leaf weight, chlorophyll and carotenoid.
- Intervention effect Alternative fertilization differently affected leaf proline concentration, relative water content and total phenols.
- Intervention effect Alternative fertilization differently affected leaf antioxidant activity.
- Association The ‘Big Top’ nectarine planting area had higher soil clay and pH than the ‘Onora’ planting area.
