Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Summer pruning time and intensity did not affect Emerald reproductive traits over three years.
- Intervention effect Jewel yield increased by 48% in year two with 30% pruning relative to nonpruned plants.
- Intervention effect Jewel yield increased by 65% in year three with 30% pruning relative to nonpruned plants.
- Intervention effect Not pruning Jewel decreased inflorescence bud number relative to moderate pruning, likely because diseased foliage increased defoliation.
- Intervention effect Leaving Jewel unpruned for at least two seasons reduced inflorescence bud number and yield.
