Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Low humidity reduced pod number and consequently bean number.
- Intervention effect Low humidity slightly increased bean weight.
- Association The reduction in pod number was related to floret abortion rather than pod abortion.
- Mechanism Reduced photosynthate supply was a possible cause of the pod-number reduction.
- Intervention effect Humidity did not affect seed protein or oil content.
- Intervention effect Lower humidity reduced dry weight of stems and total tops and node number per plant.
- Intervention effect Humidity before or after flowering alone did not affect bean yield.
- Intervention effect Humidity from the start of flowering onward affected beans per plant.
