Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Topping 30-35 percent of tree height retarded mangosteen tree height.
- Intervention effect Topping tended to increase canopy width relative to controls.
- Intervention effect Topping with hedging slowed canopy height growth.
- Intervention effect Topping with hedging slowed canopy width growth.
- Intervention effect Topping increased light intensity around and within the canopy.
- Intervention effect Topping with hedging increased light intensity around and within the canopy.
- Intervention effect First-season fruit number did not differ between control and topped trees.
- Intervention effect Topping and hedging 0.5 metres produced lower first-season yields.
- Observation Second-season yields were very low in nearly year-round rain.
- Intervention effect In close-spaced orchards, control-tree yields trended lower than topped-tree yields.
- Intervention effect In close-spaced orchards, control-tree yields trended lower than topped and hedged tree yields.
- Intervention effect In wide-spaced orchards, control yields were higher than topped-tree yields.
- Intervention effect In wide-spaced orchards, control yields were higher than topped and hedged tree yields.
- Observation Leaves receiving half-day direct sun had higher photosynthesis than all-day shaded leaves.
- Observation Leaves receiving all-day direct sun had higher photosynthesis than all-day shaded leaves.
