Other claims from this paper (19)
- Association A 25% light reduction was associated with 36% less rubber in fertile soil.
- Association Further light reduction decreased percentage and absolute rubber amount.
- Association In infertile soil, rubber percentage and amount were low and little affected by shading.
- Association More extreme light reduction further retarded vegetative growth.
- Association In infertile soil, leaf weight was greatest at 75% sunlight.
- Association Moderate shading had no appreciable effect on stem and root weight in infertile soil.
- Association Two-thirds of leaves under direct light remained green through winter versus one-third under deep shade.
- Association Reduced light favored summer seed production.
- Association Shading stimulated seed production less during September.
- Association Lower light intensity was associated with a smaller proportion of large seeds.
- Association Withholding inorganic nutrients increased the proportion of small seeds.
- Association Withholding inorganic nutrients decreased the proportion of large seeds.
- Association Light reduction was not associated with appreciable seed-quality change.
- Association A 25% light reduction did not significantly affect stem cross-sectional area.
- Association Further light reduction decreased thickness and areas of stem tissues.
- Association Percentage areas of stem tissues were essentially constant across light and fertilizer treatments.
- Association Bark percentage was uncorrelated with rubber percentage.
- Association Under full light, resin percentage was equal under limited and supplied nutrients.
- Association Under shade, limited nutrients produced a higher resin percentage than supplied nutrients.
