Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Kaolin increased plant height and leaf number by 15-25% compared with water control.
- Intervention effect Kaolin enhanced photosynthetic activity and antioxidant capacity.
- Intervention effect Kaolin improved fruit size, total soluble solids and vitamin C content.
- Observation BARI Strawberry-3 had the highest heat tolerance and yield stability among genotypes.
- Recommendation The authors suggest kaolin spray for mitigating strawberry heat stress.
- Recommendation The authors identify BARI Strawberry-3 as promising for commercial cultivation in warming zones.
