Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Diffuse light plastic film improved the light distribution in the vertical and horizontal canopy space of tomato, in light interception and uniformity.
- Intervention effect A more diffuse light fraction decreased air and leaf temperatures of the middle and upper canopy in summer.
- Intervention effect Net photosynthesis (Pn) of the middle canopy under higher haze film was significantly greater than under lower haze film, by 19.0%.
- Intervention effect Net photosynthesis (Pn) of the lower canopy under higher haze film was significantly greater than under lower haze film, by 27.2%.
- Intervention effect Tomatoes with higher stem density in the 29% haze compartment yielded 5.5% more than those in the 20% haze group.
- Intervention effect Tomatoes with lower stem density in the 29% haze compartment yielded 12.9% more than those in the 20% haze group.
