Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Cutting distinctly improved pollination efficiency.
- Intervention effect Flower visiting frequency rose from 23 to 180 times per 10 square meters per day.
- Intervention effect Pod set per raceme improved from 17.12±2.83 to 84.1±1.21.
- Intervention effect Seeds per pod improved from 3.94±0.31 to 5.31±0.22.
- Intervention effect Mean pod set rate across flowering improved from 43.77% to 59.43%.
- Association Seed yield correlated with the listed agronomic traits.
- Association Seed yield had a regression relationship with racemes per branch and pod set rate per raceme, with R=0.788.
- Recommendation The authors conclude cutting at an appropriate time can delay flowering and improve seed yield.
