- Intervention effect Defoliation significantly reduced blossom-end rot across all experiments.
- Observation In experiment 4, defoliated L60 plants had no blossom-end rot.
- Observation In experiment 4, defoliated PP plants had no blossom-end rot.
- Intervention effect In experiment 4, defoliation reduced BER incidence in MF to one-quarter of control.
- Intervention effect In experiment 4, defoliation reduced BER incidence in TC to one-quarter of control.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit growth rate 1.42-fold in experiment 1.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit growth rate 1.39-fold in experiment 4.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit calcium transport rate in MF by an average ratio of 1.64.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit calcium transport rate in L60 by an average ratio of 1.55.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit calcium transport rate in TC by an average ratio of 1.35.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit calcium transport rate in CS by an average ratio of 1.30.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased fruit calcium transport rate in PP by an average ratio of 1.13.
- Observation The defoliation-associated calcium transport increase was highest in experiment 4, at a ratio of 1.68.
- Observation The defoliation-associated calcium transport increase was 1.33 in experiment 3.
- Observation The defoliation-associated calcium transport increase was 1.28 in experiment 2.
- Association Fruit growth rate and calcium transport rate were significantly linearly related.
- Observation Defoliation increased calcium transport more than fruit growth rate, especially in MF.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased total fruit calcium concentration.
- Recommendation The authors propose defoliation to reduce BER in susceptible large-fruit cultivars under moderate water stress.
