Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect AMF treatment had positive effects on relative chlorophyll content of leaves, plant stand and plant mass production of sweet pepper compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Grafting did not significantly affect the sweet pepper growth and yield parameters.
- Intervention effect AMF treatment increased SPAD values when less than 0.8 g N per m-2 week-1 of nitrogen was applied.
- Association Root colonization rate is significantly positively correlated with marketable yield of sweet pepper.
- Intervention effect AMF treatment increased sweet pepper yield by 18% (from 12.43 to 14.74 kg m-2).
- Intervention effect The AMF-related yield increase in sweet pepper is mostly due to a higher number of fruits.
- Association The yield increase from AMF was mainly realised during the last third of the harvest period, when nutrient doses were low and temperatures suboptimal.
