Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Foliar calcium chloride at 10 or 20mM significantly increased leaf number and fresh and dry leaf weights.
- Intervention effect Foliar calcium chloride significantly increased TSS, chlorophyll content, and vitamin C.
- Observation Romaine was significantly higher than Green waves in plant height, fresh and dry leaf weights, TSS, and chlorophyll content.
- Observation Vitamin C content did not differ significantly between the cultivars.
- Intervention effect Green waves with 20 mM calcium chloride had the highest leaf number per plant.
- Intervention effect Romaine sprayed with 20 mM calcium chloride had the highest fresh and dry leaf weights in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Romaine sprayed with 20mM calcium chloride had the highest total yield in season 1.
- Intervention effect Both cultivars sprayed with 20mM calcium chloride had the highest total yield in season 2.
- Intervention effect Romaine treated with 20 mM calcium chloride had the highest TSS and chlorophyll content.
- Recommendation The authors judged 20mM calcium chloride foliar application most effective for yield quantity and quality in both cultivars.
