Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Sub fertigation reduced growth, yield and fruit size across nutrient formulations.
- Intervention effect Sub fertigation increased fruit soluble solid content.
- Intervention effect Medium EC was higher under sub than drip fertigation.
- Intervention effect Medium EC was higher with Shizudai than Enshi formulation.
- Observation Sub × Shizudai had the highest medium EC at 29.6 dS·m−1.
- Observation Drip × Enshi had the lowest medium EC at 16.1 dS·m−1.
- Intervention effect Sub fertigation raised medium matric potential relative to drip fertigation.
- Intervention effect Leaf proline concentration was higher with sub than drip fertigation on the two sampling dates.
- Mechanism Authors attributed growth and yield suppression under sub fertigation mainly to salinity stress.
