Other claims from this paper (6)

Intervention effect Root pruning did not significantly affect height and root collar diameter growth after 80 days.
Intervention effect Shoot dry mass, root collar diameter, root length, total tree dry mass, sturdiness quotient and mortality were consistent between treatments.
Intervention effect Non-root-pruned seedlings had higher root volume and root dry mass.
Intervention effect Root-pruned seedlings had higher shoot height, root:shoot ratio and seedling quality index.
Association Root growth potential correlated positively with root dry mass, sturdiness quotient and seedling quality index.
Recommendation The authors concluded that root pruning increases kamagong planting-stock quality.
