Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Proportional biomass allocation to bulb in garlic was not significantly enhanced by CO2 enrichment.
- Intervention effect Overall biomass accumulation (leaf, stem and bulb) of garlic did not respond significantly to CO2 enrichment.
- Intervention effect Overall biomass accumulation (leaf, stem and bulb) of garlic responded strongly to N treatments (P < 0.001).
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic downregulation was apparent in garlic grown in elevated CO2, with a decrease in Rubisco capacity (P < 0.01).
- Intervention effect Instantaneous leaf WUE of garlic improved in response to elevated CO2 (P < 0.001).
- Intervention effect The bulbing ratio of garlic is likely to remain unchanged with CO2 or N levels.
- Recommendation The authors recommend the bulbing ratio as a useful nondestructive metric for estimating garlic harvest timing and bulb size.
