Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Continual defoliation reduced new papaya fruit set to 25% of control.
- Intervention effect Continual defoliation reduced papaya fruit size to 77% of control.
- Intervention effect Continual defoliation reduced papaya TSS to 85% of control.
- Intervention effect Fruit removal produced 52% more new papaya fruit than control in the first 8 weeks.
- Intervention effect Fruit removal yielded larger papaya fruit and earlier fruit development at the reported days after anthesis.
- Intervention effect Fruit removal accelerated papaya fruit development.
- Intervention effect Fruit removal lowered papaya fruit respiration.
- Intervention effect Fruit removal increased papaya fruit sugar contents.
- Intervention effect Mature papaya fruit TSS after fruit removal did not differ significantly from control.
- Intervention effect Combined fruit removal and defoliation gave the same number of new papaya fruit as control.
- Intervention effect Combined fruit removal and defoliation gave the same mass of new papaya fruit as control.
- Intervention effect Combined fruit removal and defoliation slightly lowered mature papaya fruit TSS.
- Association Papaya fruit sugar was higher with greater invertase activity and fruit age.
- Mechanism The authors infer that source–sink balance is critical for papaya fruit set, development, and sugar accumulation.
