Michael P. Crotser; W. W. Witt; Louis A. Spomer Weed Science 2003. doi:10.1614/0043-1745(2003)051[0208:ndsafr]2.0.co;2
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Far-red radiation resulted in greater partitioning of resources to stem tissue and taller black nightshade plants.
- Intervention effect The ratio of red to far-red radiation did not influence flower number, flowering timing or branching of black nightshade.
- Intervention effect The ratio of red to far-red radiation did not influence biomass production of black nightshade.
- Intervention effect Eastern black nightshade shoot and berry dry weight decreased as neutral density shading increased from 0 to 71%.
- Association Shoot dry weight decrease under shading was associated with lower stem weight in eastern black nightshade.
- Association Shoot dry weight decrease under shading was associated with fewer berries per plant in eastern black nightshade.
- Intervention effect Neutral shading did not reduce leaf weight or leaf area per plant of eastern black nightshade.
- Association Internode elongation of nightshade species in a soybean canopy is likely associated with low red:far-red irradiance ratios.
- Association Thinner leaves of eastern black nightshade growing under shade are likely associated with lower irradiance levels.
