- Intervention effect Fertile nursery soil induced vigorous tomato seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Fertile nursery soil accelerated flower differentiation and reduced leaves to the first inflorescence.
- Intervention effect Fertile nursery soil increased flower number and accelerated flower development.
- Intervention effect Greater water supply increased tomato seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Less water restricted growth and delayed flower differentiation and development.
- Intervention effect Less water decreased flower number.
- Intervention effect Wider spacing increased seedling growth.
- Intervention effect Wider spacing advanced flower differentiation and reduced leaves to the first inflorescence.
- Intervention effect Wider spacing increased flower number and accelerated development.
- Observation Seedling top chemical constituents differed significantly across fertility, watering and spacing combinations.
- Intervention effect Fertile soil, favorable water and wide spacing raised seedling carbohydrates, especially sugars.
- Intervention effect Fertile soil, favorable water and wide spacing raised nitrogen compounds, especially protein.
- Association These conditions were associated with more flowers.
- Association Sugars and protein were associated with better tomato growth and reproduction.
