Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect At 28 DAS, tomato leaf area was higher at 25C than at 20C.
- Intervention effect At 28 DAS, tomato shoot and root fresh and dry weight were higher at 25C than at 20C.
- Intervention effect At 28 DAS, tomato shoot and root chlorophyll content was higher at 25C than at 20C.
- Recommendation The authors consider 25C root-zone cooling sufficient for tomato seedling growth given energy efficiency.
