e0“Logistic growth curves were found to give good representations of the development of both the whole plant dry weight and the bulb plus sheath dry weight from emergence to harvest in two spring-sown cultivars of bulb onion grown at three sites in two seasons.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource Logistic curves represented bulb plus sheath dry weight from emergence to harvest.
- Method / resource Meteorological variables replacing time still gave good logistic fits.
- Observation Accumulated day-degrees reduced but did not eliminate between-site and between-season growth differences.
- Observation Accumulated sun-hours did not eliminate site or season differences in whole-plant dry weight.
- Association Within-season site differences agreed with observed density at harvest.
- Observation Total leaf dry weight reached a maximum and then declined.
- Method / resource Accumulated day-degrees fitted leaf dry-weight relationships better than time.
- Method / resource Accumulated sun-hours described leaf dry-weight relationships in only one season.
