Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Intermittent vibration reduced spindliness of high-density tomato transplants.
- Intervention effect Either treatment reduced plant height, height-to-stem-diameter ratio, and stem diameter.
- Intervention effect Either treatment reduced transplant fresh and dry weights.
- Intervention effect One ethephon spray reduced seedling height and improved stalkiness.
- Intervention effect Air-driven vibration reduced height more than ethephon spray.
- Intervention effect Combining the two treatments produced the stalkiest transplants.
