Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Tuber yield distribution differences were associated with canopy morphological and phenological changes.
- Association Seed potato physiological age influenced individual leaf expansion rate.
- Association Seed potato physiological age influenced flowering time.
- Association Leaf expansion and flowering changes affected final tuber yield distribution.
- Method / resource Flowering time or preflower leaf number reflected physiological age and indicated later sink strength or limitations.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that older leaf dependence may cause source limitations and shift yields toward smaller tubers.
