Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Wider spacing generally reduced Botrytis incidence in one cultivar, inconsistently significantly.
- Intervention effect More nitrogen increased Botrytis incidence in one of three trial years.
- Intervention effect More nitrogen generally had no effect on total yield.
- Intervention effect Defoliation significantly reduced Botrytis incidence in one high-infection year.
- Intervention effect Finger harrowing lowered total yield.
- Intervention effect Finger harrowing had no consistent effect on Botrytis incidence.
- Association Year and cultivar differences outweighed treatment differences in Botrytis incidence.
- Recommendation The authors favor less susceptible cultivars over these cultural methods.
- Recommendation Optimizing cultural methods may matter more for susceptible strawberry cultivars.
