Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Strip tillage produced cooler and moister soil than plasticulture.
- Intervention effect Rowcovers rarely affected soil temperature.
- Intervention effect Rowcovers increased mean daily air temperature by up to 4.2 °C.
- Intervention effect Rowcovers increased maximum daily air temperature by up to 11.7 °C.
- Intervention effect Rowcovers decreased daily light intensity by 33% to 37%.
- Intervention effect Rowcovers sometimes increased muskmelon fruit size.
- Intervention effect Rowcovers rarely affected marketable yield.
- Intervention effect Strip tillage reduced marketable yield relative to plasticulture by 6732 to 9900 lb/acre.
- Intervention effect Strip tillage with rowcovers often yielded similar vegetative growth to plasticulture without rowcovers.
