Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Fruit number per land area showed the greatest yield component response.
- Intervention effect Bare ground transplant fruit numbers were similar to plastic mulch transplants by the second or third harvest.
- Intervention effect Plastic direct seeding yielded similarly to plastic transplants in 1993.
- Intervention effect Plastic direct seeding yielded similarly to bare ground direct seeding in 1994.
- Intervention effect Bare ground direct seeding yielded poorly in 1993.
- Intervention effect Bare ground direct seeding had yields equal to other treatments in 1994.
