Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Inoculation with the Mil-16 attenuated TMV strain at seedling stage raised tomato fruit yield by 5-8-9-4% over uninoculated plants that became naturally infected.
- Intervention effect Tomato plants protected by Mil-16 yielded up to 14% more than plants artificially inoculated with the indigenous severe virus.
- Intervention effect Mil-16 inoculation had little adverse effect on early growth or fruit development rate over the first five trusses.
- Intervention effect In 1973 the final yield of Mil-16 inoculated tomato plants was about 5% lower than that of plants substantially free from infection for 14 weeks after planting.
- Intervention effect Mil-16 inoculation gave no benefit to cv. Cudlow Cross in a one-year test.
