Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Runner production was 59% greater with yellow and pearl nets than with no-net controls.
- Intervention effect Red nets produced 38% fewer total runners and runners per plant than yellow and pearl nets.
- Intervention effect Red nets produced 34% more runners than no-net controls.
- Intervention effect ChromatiNets gave no great advantage in marketable weight and numbers of forced strawberries.
- Observation Marketable berry production of forced strawberries began on 31 October.
- Association Red nets gave greater yields than other treatments in January.
- Association No-net controls gave greater yields than other treatments in January.
- Association Yellow and pearl nets significantly reduced yields in January.
- Intervention effect All three ChromatiNets yielded less than no-net controls in February.
- Intervention effect Outside plots yielded more than any high tunnel treatment by April.
- Intervention effect In the high tunnel, yellow net yielded similarly to the no-net control.
- Intervention effect In the high tunnel, red and pearl nets yielded less than the no-net controls.
- Intervention effect In May, all high tunnel treatments yielded less than the outside plots.
- Association No-net control produced greater total yields than all net treatments.
- Intervention effect ChromatiNets apparently suppressed overall yield of forced strawberries.
- Mechanism In winter the ChromatiNet shading factor probably overwhelmed any light quality enhancement, which may explain the yield loss.
