Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Increasing spacing reduced fig leaf number, shoot length and internode length.
- Intervention effect Increasing spacing reduced fig tree spread, height and circumference.
- Intervention effect Increasing spacing reduced fig fruit number and weight per tree.
- Intervention effect Pruning from eight to four buds per cane increased fig leaf number, shoot length and internode length.
- Intervention effect Pruning marginally influenced fig fruit number and weight per tree and hectare.
- Intervention effect Pruning marginally influenced fig fruit weight per hectare.
- Intervention effect Pruning by spacing interactions were not significant.
- Intervention effect Increasing spacing reduced fig photosynthesis and stomatal conductance.
- Observation Spacing had more conspicuous effects than pruning.
- Observation The best vigour and yield occurred with 5x2m or 5x2.5m spacing and four-bud pruning.
- Intervention effect Closer spacing reduced average fig fruit size.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not affect fig TSS and acidity.
- Observation Closer spacing had stronger growth and yield effects in year three than year four.
- Observation Under closer spacing and four-bud pruning, fruit number per hectare was reported as 116500-133750 in year three.
- Observation Under closer spacing and four-bud pruning, fruit number per hectare was reported as 274500 299500 in year four.
- Observation Fruit weight per hectare was 54.5-62.0 quintals/ha in year three.
- Observation Fruit weight per hectare was 158.77- 173.30 quintals/ha in year four.
