Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 5 g/L made garlic plants taller (72.93 and 90.80 cm) than other treatments.
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 5 g/L gave garlic more leaves (9.20 and 12.03) than other treatments.
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 5 g/L gave the largest garlic bulb diameter (5.40 and 5.21 cm) among treatments.
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 5 g/L gave the highest number of cloves per garlic bulb (14.60 and 14.30).
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 5 g/L gave the highest total garlic yield per feddan (12.61 and 12.75 ton).
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 5 g/L significantly increased garlic chlorophyll content (78.67 and 73.45 SPAD unit).
- Intervention effect Supplemental potassium fertilization reduced post-harvest loss of garlic compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate at 2.5 g/L offered the most significant reductions in garlic percentage weight loss during both storage periods.
