Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Soil-applied Amaranthus retroflexus extract increased shoot length, leaf SPAD and total plant biomass of pear trees in a controlled environment compared with an untreated control.
- Intervention effect Fe-chelate increased tree yield of pear trees.
- Intervention effect Fe-chelate decreased fruit weight of pear trees.
- Intervention effect Fe-chelate decreased leaf potassium and manganese concentration of pear trees.
- Intervention effect At harvest, all strategies raised fruit soluble solid concentration of pear trees compared with the untreated control.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied Amaranthus retroflexus aqueous extract probably improved Fe nutritional status of pear trees through the Fe chelating capacity of compounds released by its tissues.
- Intervention effect The Amaranthus retroflexus extract improved Fe nutrition of pear trees, particularly when enriched with FeSO4.
- Intervention effect The Amaranthus retroflexus extract solubilized Fe from calcareous soil at a level 100-fold higher than deionized water alone.
