- Intervention effect Presprouting accelerated emergence from the plant bed.
- Intervention effect Small presprouted roots produced at least as many early and midseason plants as large presprouted roots.
- Intervention effect Small presprouted roots produced lighter plants.
- Intervention effect Cutting roots did not affect plant weight.
- Intervention effect Cutting roots did not enhance early or midseason plant production.
- Intervention effect Transverse halves increased late season plant production.
- Intervention effect Transverse halves showed a trend toward more total plants.
- Intervention effect Presprouted whole roots deteriorated less.
- Intervention effect Presprouted longitudinal halves deteriorated more.
- Intervention effect Presprouted roots cut transversely at the proximal tip deteriorated more.
- Intervention effect Presprouting did not affect deterioration of transverse halves.
- Intervention effect Presprouted whole roots had more remaining plant primordia after five weeks of harvest.
- Intervention effect Presprouted transverse halves had more remaining plant primordia after five weeks of harvest.
- Intervention effect Transverse halves had more primordia than whole roots under either presprouting condition.
