Other claims from this paper (16)
- Association Plant harvests from ‘Georgia Jet’ started later than from ‘Georgia Red’ (sparse versus profuse plant producer).
- Intervention effect Plant harvests from storage roots cut into longitudinal halves started later than from whole roots.
- Association Cumulative percentages of total plants harvested were lower for ‘Georgia Jet’ than ‘Georgia Red’ within 2 weeks.
- Association Cumulative percentages of total plants harvested were lower for halved roots within 2 and 4 weeks after initiation of harvests.
- Intervention effect Total plant production from halved ‘Georgia Jet’ roots was lower than from whole roots.
- Intervention effect Total plant production from halved roots immersed in Botran 75W was greater than from roots immersed in calcium hypochlorite.
- Intervention effect Cutting and immersion treatments did not influence total plant production from ‘Georgia Red’.
- Association Roots of ‘Georgia Jet’ deteriorated more than roots of ‘Georgia Red’ in the propagating bed.
- Intervention effect Presprouting did not reduce root deterioration in the propagating bed.
- Intervention effect Presprouting reduced the number of days from bedding until first plant harvest.
- Intervention effect Presprouting increased the cumulative percentage of total plants harvested within 2 and 4 weeks after harvests were initiated.
- Intervention effect Presprouting increased total plant number from small and large ‘Georgia Jet’ roots.
- Intervention effect Presprouting increased total plant number from large ‘Georgia Red’ roots.
- Intervention effect When presprouted, large roots of each cultivar produced more plants than small roots.
- Intervention effect Without presprouting, large ‘Georgia Jet’ roots produced more plants than small roots.
- Intervention effect Root size did not influence total plant production from ‘Georgia Red’ roots that were not presprouted.
