Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Seedlings with zero irrigation had the least growth in all parameters measured.
- Intervention effect Growth was stimulated by irrigation, with a threshold at 0.2 L/week for pepper, tomato and watermelon seedlings.
- Intervention effect Biomass accumulation in all species increased with irrigation.
- Intervention effect Water use efficiency (WUE) decreased with irrigation in all species.
- Intervention effect The quantum efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry of beans and watermelon increased to 0.8 as irrigation increased.
- Intervention effect The quantum efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry of pepper and tomato remained low in all irrigation treatments, indicating stress.
- Recommendation Early farm management should consider appropriate irrigation volumes for better and more vigorous crops in the field.
