Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer increased early growth and nutrient uptake.
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer slightly accelerated flowering.
- Intervention effect Starter fertilizer slightly improved visual quality in one experiment.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization had little effect on most measured parameters.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilizer gave a small yield increase in one experiment.
- Intervention effect Delayed fertilization slightly lengthened the growing season.
- Intervention effect Delayed fertilization did not harm yield or quality index.
- Intervention effect Low transplant phosphorus concentration did not affect later growth, yield or quality.
- Recommendation Starter fertilizer offers little advantage on high P sandy soils.
- Recommendation Low P nutrient regimes for greenhouse seedlings are not detrimental to field performance.
