Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Higher day and night temperatures increased early yield.
- Intervention effect Higher day and night temperatures did not increase total yield.
- Association Whole-crop returns increased with temperature only with carbon dioxide enrichment.
- Intervention effect Higher day temperature in stage 1 was more beneficial than higher night temperature.
- Intervention effect Higher night temperature was probably more beneficial in stage 3.
- Intervention effect High temperature in stage 2 and low temperature before anthesis enhanced lower-truss flower and fruit development.
- Intervention effect High stage 3 temperature reduced fruit number in most trusses.
- Intervention effect C02 enrichment increased early crop by 90%.
- Intervention effect C02 enrichment increased total crop by 30%.
- Intervention effect Enrichment increased whole-crop monetary returns by 37 %.
- Mechanism The enrichment gain was mainly attributable to more and larger fruits.
- Intervention effect Enrichment advanced first-truss flowering.
- Intervention effect Enrichment did not further advance flowering in subsequent trusses.
- Intervention effect CO2 enrichment significantly reduced the select-grade share.
