Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Root cooling did not change fruit fresh or dry biomass across clusters.
- Intervention effect Root cooling increased sugar concentration in the second Amoroso and third Delioso fruit clusters by 6.1–8.4%.
- Intervention effect Root cooling increased vitamin C concentration in the second Amoroso and third Delioso fruit clusters by 9.1–12.5%.
- Intervention effect Low root temperature significantly increased lycopene by 8–23.8% in most cases, depending on cluster and cultivar.
- Intervention effect Most fruit mineral element levels did not respond to root temperature.
- Intervention effect Cooling significantly reduced zinc in the first Delioso cluster by 10%.
- Association Second or third cluster fruits with more sugars, vitamin C, and lycopene were more affected by root cooling.
- Association Cluster-position effects on fruit quality differed between root-temperature groups.
- Intervention effect Root cooling reduced between-cluster fruit-quality heterogeneity in Amoroso.
- Intervention effect Root cooling increased between-cluster fruit-quality differences in Delioso.
