Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect At the high organic matter site, soil amendments had no effect on yield, dry mass partitioning or stored bulb weight loss.
- Intervention effect Manure compost reduced smaller bulb yield at the low organic matter site.
- Intervention effect fertilizer reduced smaller bulb yield at the low organic matter site.
- Intervention effect Manure compost gave the highest proportion of bulbs above 5 cm.
- Intervention effect Scape removal increased bulb yield by 15% at the low organic matter site.
- Intervention effect Scape removal increased bulb size at the low organic matter site.
- Intervention effect Scape removal increased bulb yield by 5% at the high organic matter site.
- Intervention effect Scape removal increased dry matter partitioning to bulbs.
- Intervention effect Scape removal did not change total aboveground dry matter production.
- Observation With scapes retained, higher scape dry mass offset the bulb dry mass increase from removal.
- Intervention effect Bulb storage weight loss was lower at 0 to 3 °C than at 19 to 21 °C.
- Intervention effect Soil amendments affected bulb storage quality only at the low organic matter site.
- Intervention effect Scape removal did not significantly affect bulb weight loss at either site.
