- Intervention effect Vera had similar fresh mass at 25% and 50% MAD.
- Intervention effect Chicoric, caftaric and chlorogenic acids tended to increase at 50% MAD in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect Caffeic acid tended to increase at 50% MAD in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect Kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin increased at 75% MAD in both cultivars.
- Association Ascorbic acid content declined as MAD levels increased.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation at 50% increased glucose in Lollo Bionda.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation at 70% increased glucose in Lollo Bionda.
- Recommendation The authors recommend Vera at 50% MAD for improved phytochemicals and quality without loss of marketable fresh mass.
