Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Groundnut height was greatest when shading started at peg initiation.
- Intervention effect Maximum leaf development, leaf area expansion, and pod production rates were similar across shade treatments.
- Mechanism Higher light-use efficiency did not fully compensate for shade-reduced light interception.
- Association Premature senescence in shaded groundnut coincided with near cessation of pod production.
- Intervention effect Shade from peg initiation produced a greater proportion of filled pods at harvest than other treatments.
