Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Tomato grown under 50% shade had similar yield and shoot fresh and dry weight to the unshaded control.
- Intervention effect 50% shade reduced the number and weight of unmarketable tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Chili pepper under 50% shade had lower numbers of marketable fruit than the unshaded control.
- Intervention effect 70% shade significantly reduced yield parameters of tomato.
- Intervention effect 70% shade significantly reduced yield parameters of chili pepper.
- Intervention effect 50% and 70% shadecloth reduced leaf temperatures of tomato, with variable results in June and July.
- Intervention effect 50% and 70% shadecloth reduced leaf temperatures of chili pepper, with variable results in June and July.
- Intervention effect Tomato growth index was highest under 50% shade and lowest under full sun.
- Intervention effect Chili pepper growth index was highest under 50% shade and lowest under full sun.
- Observation Maximum net photosynthetic rates of tomato supported its growth and yield results.
- Intervention effect Maximum net photosynthetic rate of chili pepper was higher in full sun than under 50% or 70% shade, and the two shade levels were almost identical.
- Recommendation Shading at 50% is recommended for tomato and chili pepper production in west Texas to reduce heat stress.
