Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Pruned plants had higher leaf nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentrations.
- Intervention effect Unpruned plants had higher leaf calcium, iron and manganese concentrations.
- Intervention effect Autumn or winter pruning did not negatively affect root yield.
- Intervention effect Potassium application did not increase leaf reconstitution in either pruning group.
- Intervention effect Potassium application did not increase yield components in either pruning group.
- Intervention effect Late nitrogen application improved nutritional status.
- Intervention effect Late nitrogen application increased root, starch and flour yields linearly.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering leaf nutritional assessment after shoot pruning.
- Recommendation The authors suggest autumn or winter shoot pruning as a management practice.
- Recommendation The authors deem second-cycle potassium provision unnecessary in soils with medium potassium availability.
