e0“The study was conducted to determine the influence of gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) on the growth, fruit yield, and quality of an indeterminate tomato”
e3“applying GA 3 at 50 ppm produced a higher percent fruit set, fruit count per plant, and fruit yield per plant, plot, and hectare than a higher concentration”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect GA3 significantly increased plant height of tomato compared with no GA3 application.
- Intervention effect GA3 decreased the flower count of tomato plants.
- Intervention effect At 50 ppm GA3, percent fruit set and fruit count per plant were similar to tomato plants without GA3.
- Intervention effect Applying GA3 at 50 ppm gave a higher fruit yield per plot and per hectare than a higher concentration.
- Intervention effect GA3 above 50 ppm gave a lower seed count per fruit than 50 ppm and than no application.
- Intervention effect GA3 at 200 ppm gave the lowest seed count per fruit.
- Intervention effect GA3 gave higher total soluble solids in tomato fruits than no application.
- Association Fruit yield per plant of tomato was positively correlated with inflorescence count per plant, flower count per plant and percent fruit set.
- Intervention effect Fruit yield of tomato with 50 ppm GA3 was similar to that without GA3.
- Intervention effect Tomato fruits with 50 ppm GA3 had a lower seed count than fruits without GA3, numerically.
- Association A lower seed count per fruit would give tomato fruit more flesh.
