Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Thirteen additional spring growth days increased root yield by 10.9%.
- Association Each day of postponed drilling corresponded to 0.7-0.8% yield loss.
- Intervention effect Early drilling did not yield a statistically significant sugar content benefit.
- Observation Spring yield gain was slightly higher in the non-tolerant cultivar than the tolerant cultivar.
- Recommendation The authors infer early drilling can partly reduce nematode damage risk.
- Intervention effect Later harvest increased autumn root yield by 14.3% over 39 days.
- Observation Autumn daily gain was about half the spring rate.
- Observation Autumn sugar content increased by 0.6% to 1% absolute on average.
- Observation Autumn growth was much higher at the non-infested than infested site.
