Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nonfertilized controls produced the greatest number of floral stems, florets and florets per stem.
- Observation Nonfertilized controls were chlorotic and spindly.
- Intervention effect Nonfertilized controls had the lowest fresh weight and vegetative stem number.
- Intervention effect In a second experiment, nonfertilized controls produced as many florets as fertilized plants.
- Intervention effect Osmocote plants had greater fresh weight and more vegetative stems than Sierra HighN plants.
- Intervention effect Osmocote plants had fewer florets than Sierra HighN plants.
- Observation Fertilization favors vegetative stem production relative to flowering stems.
- Intervention effect RCF application prevents chlorosis and increases fresh weight.
- Intervention effect Low to moderate RCF rates with N–P ratio at least 6:1 do not inhibit flowering.
