- Intervention effect Spraying 5.0% Kaolin gave the greatest seed volume of Jojoba shrubs, significantly associated with the treatment.
- Intervention effect Spraying 5.0% Kaolin gave the highest seed length and width of Jojoba shrubs, significantly associated with the treatment.
- Intervention effect Shrubs treated with 5.0% Kaolin had the highest economic return.
- Intervention effect All seed physical traits of Jojoba were significantly enhanced when spraying was done on 1 June rather than the first date.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids had the highest values in Jojoba shrubs treated with 5.0% Kaolin on 1 May.
- Intervention effect Total carbohydrates and seed oil content of Jojoba had the highest values in shrubs treated with 5.0% Kaolin on 1 May.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids increased further with 7.5% Kaolin in Jojoba shrubs.
