e0“Inside the plastic house, the productivity (fruit number) per plant was 4.6, while outside the plastic house the productivity per plant was 6.1 due to the heat accumulation inside the plastic house.”
e1“the firmness of strawberry product inside the plastic house was still lower than the strawberry product outside the plastic house.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Early-period strawberry fruit size was not significantly different inside versus outside the plastic house.
- Intervention effect After 90 days, strawberry bush size was larger inside the plastic house.
- Observation Strawberry fruit diameter inside the plastic house exceeded 2.5 cm.
- Intervention effect Strawberry product number outside the plastic house was higher than inside.
- Intervention effect Overall strawberry product weight outside the plastic house was higher than inside.
- Intervention effect Strawberry fruit firmness was lower inside than outside the plastic house.
- Observation Plastic-house temperature was 2°C higher than outside.
- Mechanism The authors attributed reduced strawberry product amount to elevated plastic-house temperature affecting flower-bud growth.
- Recommendation The authors call for further research to reduce heat accumulation in the plastic house.
