Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Higher planting density increased main stem length.
- Intervention effect Higher planting density decreased branch number and leaf area per plant.
- Intervention effect Higher density did not affect stolon growth or stolon number per plant.
- Intervention effect Higher density decreased the percentage of productive stolons.
- Observation All cultivars showed upward trends in CGR, NAR, and TGR over the experiment at both densities.
- Observation All cultivars showed an upward trend in EAR at both densities.
- Intervention effect High density produced higher TGR and EAR earlier than low density.
- Intervention effect Higher density decreased leaf, stem, and tuber dry weights per plant.
- Intervention effect Higher density increased dry weights per unit area.
- Intervention effect High density increased the share of dry matter partitioned to tubers.
- Intervention effect High density increased total and marketable tuber yield per unit area.
- Intervention effect High density decreased tuber yield per plant in all three cultivars.
- Observation Dejima outyielded the other cultivars.
- Recommendation Dejima is expected to have a higher optimum density range for marketable tubers than Irish Cobbler and May Queen.
