Melissa Acevedo; Elvin Román-Paoli; Félix M. Román-Pérez; et al. The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico 2017. doi:10.46429/jaupr.v101i2.15790
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect At Isabela, FS-R produced the highest fruit weight, 2.5 kg per fruit, without a significant difference from FS-DI and CRF.
- Observation At Isabela, FS-R yielded 1.5% nitrogen in pineapple tissue.
- Intervention effect CRF plants had the highest Brix, 15.8°.
- Recommendation The authors recommend controlled release fertilizer because it avoids frequent foliar application without compromising yield.
