Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect All woody landscape plants tested had less root growth at the substrate-container interface when grown in Cu-treated containers.
- Intervention effect Woody landscape plants had less surface root coverage after repotting when the original 3.8 liter container was Cu-treated.
- Intervention effect Dry weights of newly generated roots were not affected by Cu or styrene treatment.
- Intervention effect Holly had a lower root dry weight when previously grown in +Cu containers.
- Intervention effect Shoot growth in response to Cu was species-dependent after repotting into larger containers.
- Intervention effect Transplanted azaleas had a lower growth index after transplanting from +Cu containers than from −Cu containers.
- Intervention effect Growth index of gardenia increased after repotting from styrene-lined containers.
- Intervention effect Surface root coverage 5 months after repotting increased when plants were previously grown in styrene-lined containers.
- Intervention effect Oleander, holly and magnolia previously grown in styrene-lined containers without Cu had more surface root coverage than plants grown in unlined containers.
