Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Camob spray with 1,000 mg/litre Ca increased tomato fruit yield by 12% versus control.
- Intervention effect Camob spray with 1,000 mg/litre Ca increased mean tomato fruit number by 16% versus control.
- Intervention effect Camob at 500 and 1,000 mg/litre Ca did not differ significantly in yield, fruit number, BER incidence or leaf Ca.
- Intervention effect Camob treatments reduced BER incidence to fewer than one fruit per plant versus more than three in untreated plants in trial one.
- Intervention effect In trial two, BER incidence in treated plants was mostly below half of control.
- Intervention effect Foliar Camob did not significantly increase Ca in the first mature top leaf.
