Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Doubling the volume of water added to a grit and loam compost did not reduce the fruit-setting rate.
- Intervention effect In potted plants, a high-watering treatment with high NPK nutrition increased succulence, the amount of growth and flower abortion.
- Intervention effect Low calcium nutrition checked pollen development.
- Intervention effect Low calcium nutrition reduced fruit-setting.
- Intervention effect Flower fertility of summer-flowering sweet peas was equally high in culture solutions of 0.5 and 1.8 atmosphere osmotic concentration.
