Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Increasing PPF enhanced tomato growth and photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Increasing EC diminished tomato growth and photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Each EC increase reduced tomato dry weight by 1.9% to 7.3%.
- Intervention effect Each EC increase reduced whole-plant photosynthesis by 1.7% to 4.5%.
- Intervention effect Increasing EC did not decrease dry matter content or leaf photosynthesis.
- Observation Net leaf photosynthesis on the last measurement day ranged between 7.5 and 11.3 μmol·m -2 ·s -1.
- Mechanism The decrease in whole-plant photosynthesis with increasing EC was caused by decreased leaf area, not by reduced leaf photosynthesis.
