Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect GA3 reduced tomato fruit nitrate concentration.
- Intervention effect GA3 reduced tomato fruit size and yield.
- Intervention effect GA3 delayed tomato maturation.
- Intervention effect Auxin treatments increased fruit nitrate concentration.
- Intervention effect Auxin treatments increased tomato fruit size and yield.
- Intervention effect Auxin treatments accelerated maturation.
- Observation PCPA was highly effective for the reported fruit responses.
- Observation TR was highly effective for the reported fruit responses.
- Observation RP was less effective for the reported fruit responses.
- Intervention effect Combined GA3 and auxin treatment gave intermediate fruit growth, yield and maturation time.
- Association Fruit nitrate concentration varied with the auxin combined with GA3.
- Association Whole-plant growth regulator effects varied by concentration and spraying time.
- Intervention effect GA3 25ppm alone decreased tomato fruit yield and nitrate.
- Intervention effect GA3+RP decreased tomato fruit yield and nitrate.
- Intervention effect RP 200ppm alone increased tomato fruit yield and nitrate, with no significant spraying-time effect.
- Observation Chico was more sensitive to growth regulators than Heinz 1370.
- Observation Fireball and Coldset had the highest fruit nitrate concentration.
- Observation Heinz 1409, ES-24, VF-36 and other late-maturing large-fruited cultivars had very low nitrate.
- Recommendation The authors judged Heinz 1409 most suitable for yield and low fruit nitrate.
